WatchOS 7.3 update starts and then gives me an error that the update has failed. It’s on its charger and I’m on WiFi. Never seen this before. Anyone have any ideas?

I am trying to update my watch to watchOS 7.3. Every time I try to update, it looks like it’s going to start downloading and then I get an error. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on how to work around?

Hi fish.girl1,

In this situation I would try and restart Apple Watch and then try updating Apple Watch again, if this does not work, then back your Apple Watch up and un-pair it from your iPhone, re-pair the Apple Watch and consequently try to update your Apple Watch again,


Hope this helps,

Colm
