Can't install watchOS 7.3

I performed a hard reset on my Apple Watch (pressed and held the side button and crowned until the screen went black) and then opened up the Watch app on my phone and saw a message that there was an error with the download and selected try again and was able to install. Let me know if this helps!

I have done hard resets on the iPhone 8 and the Apple 3 watch 4 times - and it keeps telling me it does not have enough space for the install. According to Apple, this is a known problem. I'll live with the older OS and will forget trying to do the update. Very disappointed that Apple has yet to release a fix for this product - it would appear that the version 3 watch is the primary one that has this issue. If anyone has any other suggestions other than decoupling the watch from the phone please post - it's something I have done twice to install updates, but no way will I keep going through that procedure. As someone aptly said, that is a total PIA.

Yes. Worked for me too. Thank you. The unpairing process would have been painful.

I am having the same problems with updating and I have tried your solutions several times along with resetting my phone. any other solutions?

Thanks worked for me!

Didn’t work for me until I rebooted my cell phone as well. Then the upgrade was completed smoothly.
