I recently tried to connect my Apple Watch (series 3) to my iPhone (13). Before it connects it says I need to update it and I try to but it says that I need to connect to the internet even though I am and it won’t let me continue.
Apple Watch
If you see not connected to internet or verifying update
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 with not much space left for the
update.So installing or even pairing to an ios14 or ios15 phone is proving nearly
impossible for just about all the watch 3 users on this forum.
same applies to Apple watch 1 and 2 they are almost impossible to either pair or
update with an ios 14 or ios15 phone.
Your best course of action is to call in at an apple store and ask them to update it for you.
