Hello and welcome to the Apple Support Communities, Speedyviado14.


We understand that you're having trouble updating your Apple Watch, so we'd like to see how we can help. First make sure that your iPhone is running the latest iOS version: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If it's up to date or if updating doesn't help, restart your Apple Watch and iPhone, then try to complete the update again:


Restart your iPhone

If those steps don't help, make sure the date and time are correct on your iPhone.


If you need more help, reply to this message and let us know if your Apple Watch is currently paired with your iPhone.


All the best!
