Apple Watch Series 3- Storage Issues

everyone has been complaining about this for ages! why wont they fix this issue i mean come on Im having to restart my watch everytime a new update comes out which is all the time is this their shabby solution? really wack!

Guess which platform never has these issues? Hint: it's not an Apple platform.

Am I salty? Yes.

Seriously, though, why hasn't Apple adopted the Chromebook/Android pattern of having multiple partitions to enable instant updates anyway? Must be the profit margins.. just don't allow for such user conveniences.

I have an Apple Watch Series 3, model A1859 and supposedly it has 8GB of storage. I would expect the actual formatted amount of ACTUAL storage to be less, Something in the hi 6GB to low 7GB range, but my CAPACITY is stated as 4.1 GIGABYTES. Obviously if I am starting from that point, with barely over half of my storage actually usable, I'm going to have problems. So, yes, I have been taken all photos, podcasts and music off of my watch, and now I've removed lot os apps, the ones I'm allowed to and I still can't install the latest Software Update.

For the longest time. I"ve done the repairing and reset, etc. but just now realized that the capacity I was dealing with was abnormally low. Could I just be dealing with defective storage? Is there a way I can reformat it and increase the amount of usable space? I'm very familar with doing this in the Mac w

orld but we're not given tools like Disk Utility for iOS and WatchOS.

I'm having the same issue. Bought my Apple Watch 3 in September 2020 and the storage has always been a problem. Apple has refused to help at this point. They've opened ticket after ticket and have never resolved this. In March 2021 they took the watch in and then sent it back to me, claiming they were unable to duplicate the issue. Meanwhile I've sent them countless screenshots showing the clear discrepancy. Has anyone successfully sued Apple in the small claims court? I am considering filing a statement of claim now--$102 filing fee, which I would recover. I think the watch speaks for itself, in terms fo evidence. They essentially sold me a defective watch and have then spent the last 8 months doing nothing about it. Thoughts? Note for future: ALWAYS buy any Apple products at Costco. They have a 90-day returns policy!

For the past year at least I have to reset and erase all settings to update my watch every single time. I only have three additional apps than what comes with the watch. And Apple Support is never any help they replace the watch twice I keep telling them it has nothing to do with the watch. Now I’m out of warranty and it’s still happening

same issue here after 2 days of restore it happened again and again

Nope 1 day after the clean restare ( as a NEW watch) same problem

Hmm, mine was now sent in to Apple Support. I‘m curious what they will tell me. The Genius was telling me that they would either do a factory reset or replace the watch. I hope it will help somehow.

Hi All,

My repair way was same then hasanfromsakarya‘s.

1. unpair and delete my watch from the iCloud
2. switch off the message sync in the iCloud

3.delete the backup of the message from the iCloud

you have to go in the message menu, than you can manage and delete it.

4.delete the watch app from my phone and direct restart it

5.install the watch app, repair the watch with new one.

so it isn’t only iMessage probably is randomly happen with syncing photos around apple apps. Apple should pay us for this solution. I can accept APPL stocks thank you :-)

Our watch is supposed to have 8 GB. So, I don't think this really helped...

This worked for me. Thanks! Went from 2.1 available to 4.1.

How did you solve the reminder "bug"? And how did you know this was an issue? Thanks for any help

Thank you so very much!!!!!!! It seems this fixed the issue. I deleted the reminders all together. Not worth it! You were truly the only help I received so again Thank you!
