My apple watch series 3 needed a update but said the storage was full, which is dumb because there is barely anything on it. So I had to unpair my watch and iPhone(iPhone 8) then pair them followed by the update. The update is stuck saying one hour left. I have restarted my phone many times and unpaired and repaired many times for the past few hours. Now my Apple Watch is useless until I find a solution. Wtf
iPhone 8, iOS 14
The apple watch 3 GPS only has only 8GB of internal storage, most of that is taken up by the operating system and other critical software. So installing a major update is not going to be easy;
1.Unpair and erase your watch to factory settings.
2.Set up and pair the watch again,but setup as new not from a backup.
3.Update the watch, which now has enough free memory to update
4.Unpair and erase the watch a second time
5.Re-pair the watch with your phone, but choose the backup you made in step 1,another backup is made in step 4 but don't choose that one.
