Apps keep spinning but not installing.

I am extremely annoyed and considering buying a different watch. I want to download adidas running to my watch or Spotify. When I try it spins a couple of times and then stops, no explanation no pop up just nothing. Does anyone have som useable advice. I have deleted the watch and connected it to my iPhone a couple of times, no result.

Hello Comradesdk,


It sounds like you are unable to download apps on your Apple Watch.


Here are some resources that might help:



  • Make sure your watch has enough storage. Check how much available storage your watch has by opening its Settings app, then going to General > Usage.


  • To help isolate, if you are trying to install the apps from your iPhone, try doing it directly from the Apple Watch if possible, vise-versa. See Get more apps on Apple Watch


  • Ensure you re connected to a strong network, Connect Apple Watch to a Wi-Fi network and try a different network if possible. If your devices use a VPN or security software, try with disabling this software as it can effect your network.



Hope this information helps.


Have a good day.
