Unable to install WatchOS 6 due to lack of available storage

I seem to be unable to install Watch OS 6 however, I only have the factory apps installed.

I've removed any possible apps and reset the watch but i am still unable to install.


Are there any posts floating around with this information?

Have you been sync'ing music and/or podcasts to your Apple Watch? Did you sync pictures? Those are the items I would expect would take up a lot of storage if you only have the default Apple apps on your Apple Watch.


You can go to the iPhone "Watch" app -> General -> Usage and see where your storage is being used.
