Apple Watch Series 3 won’t update to WatchOS 7

1. Push crown once
2. Select the settings icon (or from list)
3. Scroll to Wifi & click on it
4. Choose WiFi network

Pull up from the bottom of the watch and see above. Just click off the bluetooth

Same here i lost my count on how many times i resetting ,

The bluetooth tricks helps a lot. thank you so much

None of the above solutions helped me. Going on 5 hours of the second try. I agree with Sol5t1c3. Probably be my last update for my series 3 watch.

Same here. It’s so evident that they want to make customers purchase a new watch every os update.

By turning Bluetooth off doesn’t that disconnect watch from phone? So how will phone connect with watch to update it? I am having same problem stuck on veryfing .

Yes. It momentarily does disconnect but when you turn it back on it picks up where it left off, then changes to "installing". At least that's what mine did.

I originally had to unpair my watch due to the storage issue. Then it was stuck on preparing forever. Now it’s back to the storage issue!!!! Why do they make this so difficult, just freaking update

This method is spot on..Works like a charm.Thanks a ton!

by switching the Bluetooth off then back on again worked wonders

thanks A million

I tried what you said but when I turn Bluetooth off it tells me it has to be on. What am I doing wrong?

That worked great on my husband’s series 4–I just turned off BT on both watch and phone and then turned back on and the download began to install. It did not work for my series 3.

So...There is now a new update WatchOS 7.01. Anyone brave enough to try it?

I finally got it to work. Had to unpair and clear off some data, worked after a couple hours.
