Apple Watch Series 2 Update to 6.2 issues. iPhone X on version 13.4.1

I had the same problem, turned off Wi-Fi and mine updated also, so thanks for the tip! I've been trying every day since the update came out.

Or;

Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button for about 20 seconds until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then tap on it, then tap on the green check button.

I can’t get mine to update. I’ve let it run all night. Both fully charged, both plugged into charger. Phone on WiFi. Watch says continue set up on phone. Phone won’t let me do anything until update, can’t access settings or anything other than turn it off. Paired to phone multiple times- no problem. Phone says must be connected to WiFi. It is. Stuck in an endless circle! Help!

I have Apple Watch Series 2 (version 6.1.2), my iPhone is 6sPlus (version 13.4.1). I am having issue when upgrading WatchOS 6.2 during verification phase. Error: An error occurred installing the latest version of watchOS on your Apple Watch.

Unfortunately, I cannot turn off Wrist Detection on the watch so that I could not install the upgrade package from the watch itself. Also, to turn off WIFI on watch did not help neither.

Need help please. Thank you..

Thanks for the tip to upload the OS 6.2 for my series 2 watch. I turned off the WiFi on the watch and the software started to load. I had been trying to load the software for a couple days using all the methods mentioned in the email that had the solution.

It worked

I tried to install (after several failures) by shutting off the WiFi on the watch, and that failed. I had to go into the watch's Settings and kick off the update there. Finally worked! No need to shut off WiFi or Bluetooth.

I tried switching WiFi off, but as soon as I placed it on the charger it restarted. This was after several attempts to update the watch. I can report that I repeated the process of starting the update from the watch with my wife's Apple Watch, and that worked as well. I think our friends at Apple need to do better testing on these updates before rolling them out.

Finally got it to load after 14 attempts with various combinations. This sequence worked for me - Reset , unpaired, and re-paired the watch, loaded from watch-fail, loaded from phone-fail, loaded From phone -success. Again looks like time to plan to buy a new watch / 8 days of fiddling around with watch upgrades is a real deterrent from continued use. Not the brand experience I’ve come to expect from Apple. Had the same sort of retry upgrade on my wife’s watch.

Thanks for the tips—really appreciate it. I got mine watch now installing—it was the toggling of the i-watch WiFi off and then on again that worked for me. Wouldn’t have thought of that so appreciate the genius-style problem solving!
