Q: WatchOS 2 update stuck at verifying stage
iPhone 6 updated to iOS 9.0.1. Have attempted to upgrade Apple Watch to OS 2. Downloaded ok but will not go past 'verifying' stage. Any suggestions?

Try resetting your network connections on your iPhone (note: you will need to re-enter all saved Wi-Fi passwords afterwards):
- On your iPhone: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If that does not help, try unpairing and re-pairing your Apple Watch and iPhone:
- The Apple Watch app on your iPhone takes backups of your watch automatically, including a refresh when unpairing via the app. When setting up your watch again after unpairing, choose to restore your watch from backup when offered the option by the app. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards).
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
