Q: My iPhone is stuck searching for Apple Watch update.
A new system update is available for Apple Watch. I took the steps necessary to obtain that update via the Apple Watch app on my iPhone however the phone is stuck on "searching for updates". This continued after rebooting the iPhone.

Hi
The following steps may help:
- If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS 10 (currently 10.0.2):
- Delete any beta profiles (on your iPhone and/or watch) and restart both devices (this only applies if you have ever participated in an Apple Beta Software Program).
- Unpair and re-pair your watch:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch when unpairing via the app. Choose to Restore from Backup when offered the option during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
