My Apple Watch series 3 gps says its capacity is 4.2gb in the about section when should be 8gb. I understand the actual storage won’t be exactly 8 and software accounts for some but half seems like a lot.

This is a known issue, according to watchOS 7 developer release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchos-release-notes/watchos-7-release-notes
"Workaround: Unpair your watch, then pair it again with your phone. Set it up as a new watch rather than restoring from a backup. Use General > Software Update in the Watch app to update to watchOS 7. If you want to restore your watch from its latest backup after the update is complete, repeat these steps while choosing to restore from a backup rather than setting up as new."
I, too, am having this issue on a Series 3 non-gps. It's tiresome to have to restore to factory settings for each update.
Yup. I want a free replacement. Literally just received this watch as a gift in July 2020. How was my $100 FitBit better at literally everything?!?
