Watch 3 - 8.4.2 sw - explanation on screen

I have an Apple Watch 3 - which is on software version 8.4.2.


Few months before there was an update for 8.5 I think and after trying to update my watch started to display exclamation message.


there is a fix on the forum for watches that are on 8.5 and above. Has anyone figured out for 8.4.2 ?


Thank you,

Suresh

Hello, sursan100.


Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article that was linked to your posting: If your Apple Watch shows an iPhone and a watch or a red “!” - Apple Support. It suggests that you Contact Apple Support to set up a mail-in repair if your Apple Watch continues to show a red exclamation point. If your watch is not running (or able to run) watchOS 8.5, that would be our advice.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
