WatchOS 9.3

I have been trying to update my apple watch (8) to watchOS 9.3, but it just sits there trying to download. I tried downloading to my watch, but that does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

Hello richardfromclearfield,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If you're having trouble updating your Apple Watch let's try these steps to resolve the issue.



Per the article you found:


Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Need more help with updating?

Try these steps:

  1. Make sure that your Apple Watch is connecting properly to its charger
  2. Restart your Apple Watch.
  3. Restart your paired iPhone.
  4. Try again to update your Apple Watch.

If the update won't start:

  1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap General > Software Update.
  3. Delete the update file.
  4. Try again to update your Apple Watch.

Learn what to do if you see 'Cannot Install Update' when updating Apple Watch or if your Apple Watch says you need more available storage to install a watchOS update."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!




WatchOS 9.3
