Watch won't update.

My watch will not update, as it tells me I need to remove apps as there is not enough memory. The only apps I have, are the ones that came with the watch, and I can't remove those. Help, please.

To free storage space on  Watch -

Using the Watch app on the paired iPhone, unpair the watch. Then repair the watch. Doing so frees up storage space by deleting temporary files, corrupted files and then reindexing the filing system.
