Apple Watch Will NOT Update

my Apple Watch will not update... I have powered both the phone and Watch off. Did not help. It says I don’t have enough space and I can literally delete nothing else off the watch. It has the basics that can’t be deleted now. No clue what to do and so frustrated. Please help!

Cannot update Apple Watch 3. Says there isn't enough space even though I haven't used any! I haven't been able to update my Apple Watch 3 normally for the past 2-3 updates. The update is only about 400mb, but when it tries to install the phone says that 2.7GB is needed. I have no songs, no podcasts and no additional apps on my Watch and I still only have 2.4GB available. So not sure what's going on... I have found that I can update if I reset my watch to factory defaults first but seriously that can't be the way to do this. It's been working perfectly fine for years. I have submitted a feedback to Apple months ago but so far they haven't looked into it. Anything else I could try?

Unpair and re-pair,this deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
