I can’t not update my Apple Watch

Hey Chrish00,

What specifically happens when you try to update? For example, do you receive any specific error or message from your Apple Watch?

Additionally, the tips here may be helpful:

"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."

Cheers!

Most importantly, what series watch is it? FWIW a lot of people have had trouble updating a series 3 watch. Int is almost impossible with a series 1 or 2 watch. With the limited memory in a series 3 watch, your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:
