I am facing an issue while updating my iwatch with latest version iwatch 7.0.2. After downloading it says "preparing". after long time (around 20 to 30 mins) it says "Unable to Verify as you are not connected to network". I am using high speed broadband internet. I am trying this for last 2-3 days without luck. I did it in the night time also. Did a reset and tried again. No luck. Please help to resolve this issue.
Hello Iwatc,
We appreciate all the steps you've tried so far.
Let's continue with completing the additional steps here: If you see 'Unable to Verify Update' when updating Apple Watch
If you're still seeing the same error, connect to a different Wi-Fi network, and updating.
Cheers!

Not sure IF Apple did something BUT finally worked. This is what I did:
Sounds odd BUT it worked for me. Hopefully helps.
I currently have the XR and started with the iPhone 4. Along with my iPad and Watch S5, I think this will be my last Apple products. I bought into Apple due to the closed environment and cohesive ecosystem which was supposedly to offer reliable ownership. Their software should work on their hardware, right? But it seems each update breaks something that used to work. My previous watch update caused increased battery drain and I was looking forward to the 7.0.2 update to fix that but now I can’t get it to update. This is a pretty widespread problem online yet the only thing Apple can offer is canned suggestions which we’ve all tried by now. Frustrating is the nicest way to put it.

Hi,
I too am dealing with this issue. I've tried everything suggested here and on other sites (such as unpairing and repairing the watch with my phone) and none of the suggestions work. I keep getting the "not connected" to the internet error when it is trying to verify the watchOS 7.0.2 update.
Hi,
I tried all options mentioned in the support page other than connecting to a different WiFi. I will do it and update it here. This is really tiresome.
I'm dealing with the same issue!!!! I have tried ALL those options. None of them worked!! I can't believe I switched from Android to have these issues.
That's right. I forgot that step. Thanks!

Hi,
I updated iPhone to 14.1 and tried updating iWatch to 7.0.3. Still I am getting the same error saying “Unable to verify as you are not connected to Internet “.
Hi
please let me know how you did point 5. When I unpair my watch app asks me to pair first. Am I missing something here?
iwatch could not able to update
