The "Usage" screen in my phone indicates that I use 80.6 MB in Music, 28.8 MB in Mail, and 17.0 MB in Photos & Camera. I have no music, mail or photos synced with the watch. Is this all just the app memory? If not, how do get rid of all of this? I keep getting the message that my memory is filled up but there isn't much loaded onto my watch.

The usages you mention are trivial and insignificant, less than 1% of the available storage. Your Apple Watch Series 3 has 8 Gigabytes of storage in the GPS model, or 16 Gigabytes if it is the cellular version. If you are seeing full storage reports these are not the problem and it is more likely you are dealing with a software glitch or corrupted memory blocking the storage. There are two likely DIY fixes:

Thanks for your input! The usage report says I have used 5.2 GB and have 0 bytes available. On the about, under general, it states the capacity at 5.2 GB. I have restarted once or twice already but it doesn't seem to help. It currently shows 130 MB messages, and everything else is 32 MB or less. Hard to believe I've filled it up! Help! Argh.....
5.2 suggests you have the non cellular watch with 8Gigabytes total storage, with the balance going to things we can’t see. 2.5-3 gigs seems consistent with what most users lose to the OS and other working space it needs.
I think you are up against memory corruption. Unpair and re-pair should fix it.
