My watch won’t update
My watch won’t update to 8.3. My phone keeps saying it needs to be on charger and at least 50% charged. It is connected and charging. It’s at 100%.

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, and then updating and restoring the backup will allow you to update it.

Another option (maybe even better, if possible) is to take to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them update it.

Don't update it, there's a chance it won't recharge.
