Apple Watch
Hi
Check that:
- Your iPhone has been updated to iOS 9 or later, is connected to power, is connected to Wi-Fi and is next to your watch.
- Your watch has at least a 50% battery charge level and is connected to power (keep it on the charger until the update is complete).
- You have followed the update instructions here: Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If you have followed those steps and are having problems, try the steps below. They have worked for others who have experienced issues at or before the "verifying" stage. However, do not interrupt your iPhone or watch if the process has already reached the "installing" stage.
- On your iPhone, close the Apple Watch app along with all other open apps (double-press on the Home button, swipe up on each of the app previews).
- Remove your watch from the charger and restart both devices, turning both off and then restarting your iPhone first.
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off.
- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
- Then replace your watch on the charger and try updating again.
