After downloading the new 9.0 update to my watch, my phone keeps acting as if it didn't update but my watch shows differently?

Hi wesfromkitty hawk,

It sounds like you have an update question about your Apple Watch and we want to help.

What are you seeing as far as update info on your Apple Watch? If you open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to My Watch > General > About, what are you seeing there?

You can update your Apple Watch through your iPhone with the steps here if needed:
