Apple Watch series 3
Is the Apple Watch series 3 compatible with the watchos 8 update I am not able to download
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
Question marked as
Yes, it is compatible. But 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.)
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
