Update Applewatch

I have been trying to update my Apple Watch for the past 4 days now and it keeps pausing. Doesn’t give me option to start again. Both phone and watch are charged 💯 and plugged in and on wifi.

Well... If this has been going on for four days now, that's about 95.5 hours longer than it took mine to update and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.


I've read where a person can go into the Watch app on their phone, General, Software Update and then delete the update file. I don't see that option in the screenshot you provided so...


I'd do a force restart on it.

Leave it on the charger, press and hold BOTH the digital crown AND the side button. Don't let go of either until you see the big white Apple show up on the screen.


Power off and reboot the phone too.


Let me know how it goes.
