My Apple Watch SE has stalled in the installation, nothing for over 3 hours with the little spinner on my phone not moving as before. My watch has been plugged in the whole time. Any suggestions?

Hi JetRoman,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We appreciate you reaching out for help getting your Apple Watch updated. Let's go over all options together.


To start, please let us know if you've had an opportunity to verify that the date, time, and time zone on your paired iPhone are correct. To do so, you'll want to follow the instructions in this guide:


If you can’t change the time or time zone on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you use any kind of VPN software on your iPhone, head into Settings > General > VPN, and ensure that VPN is disabled, or delete any associated VPN app.


If possible, join a different Wi-Fi network on your paired iPhone, and ensure that it is charging as well.


If the issue persists, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly at that point via the following link:

Have a great day!
