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

After trying everything else I could think of, I did this and it worked without a problem! Thanks for the suggestion.

Turning off WiFi on my AW S2 was the only thing that worked for me too. Thanks for posting your solution so others can try it.

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.

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!

I’ve been having the same frustration. At one point, I gave up and reset the watch to factory settings, and now it won’t let me pair the watch to my phone. Either it says it is connecting to the watch and hangs, or I get an error that it is unable to verify update because I’m not connected to the internet (although I am). Needless to say, I can’t turn off the WiFi on the watch, delete the update file, or restore it to a backup file. Help!

I can not update either. The download continues to pause even though I'm connected to WIFI. I can't update from the watch because I've restarted the download process several times and it has cleared the watch to factory settings. Annnnnd I'm trying to pair to a new Iphone 11. The old phone has already been wiped and traded in. Help!

Same problem here. Now my AW is factory reseted, and can’t connect to my ip xs. I tried with my wifes old SE, witch has 13.4 ios and it was able to pair it. No when its paired with that, it shows that i should update AW to 5.3.6. When i tried to pair it with my xs, it tried to update to 6.2.1

This is so frustrating and i’m so fed up with Apples bs. Considering to change all my and my familys to Android. Been on apple for 11 years now, but this is too much. I’m having a 500€ watch i can’t use. It is all because Apple doesn’t seem to care about its customers at all.
