Same here.


I did everything as described in: If you see “Unable to Verify Update” when updating Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK), but still no success. Right now I cannot even use the watch as when I try to connect it, it forces me to do an update.


I did have a phone call with Apple support today - solution is to bring it to the service.

Didn't do that yet, but I see a lot of people had same problem in the past, so maybe it's just temporary Apple server issue?
