Watch app wont pair.

Watch set for a couple months dead and unused. Charged it up and it wanted to pair. When pairing wouldnt work, or anything else i found in the internet, I unpaired from iphone, i did factory reset on watch, erased watch app and redownloaded it. Attempted to pair but app keeps saying “unable to dwnld update”. Claims it can’t connect to the internet. What needs to be done to begin using this watch?

For that specific message, see:

If you see 'Unable to Verify Update' when updating Apple Watch - Apple Support

FWIW, a lot of people have problems updating a series 3 watch due to insufficient memory. In some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)
