My Apple Watch Series 3 is not updating to 7.3.3 because of space lower than 3.1 GB

An update came last month to install OS 7.3.3 on my watch and I tried to install, it needs 3.1 GB disk space which is not available. After so many retries it didn't work and I had to unpair. It didn't work even then.

After that I factory reset my watch, now when I am pairing it first ask to update to 6.5 and when i do it goes to update for 7.3.3 and again stucks on low disk space. Any solution please?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

After several tries, I unpaired watch and phone again. Then paired them and set up the watch as a New Watch. I was sure to choose the option of adding apps later, rather than automatically adding all apps on my phone. That opened up a lot of space on my watch and I was finally able to upgrade and pair with phone.

FelixSG, so you are also unable to use the watch now? or you fixed the issue already?

Even after restarting the watch, it gets stuck in the same loop for me.

I am having the same issue with the install loop. Even after turning the phone/ watch on and off. I'm going to take it to have the Apple store do it.
