Watch OS 9.0 is paused. Watch is connected to WIFI.

Hello Buck1922,

For difficulties with updating your Apple Watch you'll want to take the steps below:

1. Make sure that your Apple Watch connects to its charger. 

2. Restart your Apple Watch. Press and hold the side button until you see Power Off, then drag the slider. To turn your watch on again, press and hold the side button.

3. Restart your paired iPhone.

4. Try to start the update again.

If the update won't start, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap General > Usage > Software Update, then delete the update file. After you delete the file, try to download and install watchOS again.

You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Hopefully that puts you on the path to getting your Apple Watch updated.

Take care.

I had the problem yesterday. I ended up cancelling the update and then the watched started unpairing and I had to reset up the watch.
