I need Help Setting up Apple Watch Series 3

Hello. So I have been trying to pair my new Apple Watch Series 3 to my new iPhone Pro Max 13 and it’s not working. I keep getting this statement to update software but my iPhone is already up to date. I have also tried to reset my watch to factory settings several times and re did the whole process just to keep getting the same statement. I am now confused and don’t know what else to try. Please help thank you.

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.
