Apple Watch series 3 (GPS) shows only 4.8GB in total

I recently bought the Apple Watch Series 3 and it is supposed to have 8GB of space. I have unpaired and paired it multiple times and also done a reset. It just wouldn't change. Attached screenshot. Any solutions?

My series 3 GPS Nike is showing only 4GB Capacity I tried to install WatchOS 5.2 and received a warning that I do not have enough capacity. It said I need to have 1GB available. My watch app says I only have 4GB capacity with 56MB available. (500+ MB is taken up by the downloaded 5.2 update). I checked usage and I do not have enough apps, songs, photos to account for this. Why is half of my capacity missing? Is my watch defective? I should have 8GB Capacity with 4+ GB available which should be more than enough for upgrades over the next couple years. Otherwise, my watch is already outdated after owning for 1.5 years.

This is perfectly normal,the large amount of storage space is being used by the watch's operating system software,just like ios does on the iphone.
