Im trying to set up my old series 3 Apple Watch to my iPhone 12 but when I start the set up process it says I need to do an update to the watch but then says It isn't able to update because I'm not connected to wifi even though I am.

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 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 pair/update it for you.
