Apple watch 5 unable to check for update

I tried everything and my apple watch doesn’t connect to the iPhone. Watch needs to be updated but I can update cuz I get this error: unable to check for update. I tried every step I found on internet: change region, uninstall app, internet settings and more. Nothing is working

Same here. Just noticed this today. This is a watch 6.


Things tried:

  • storage (I'm at ~6GB of 32)
  • battery: 61% charged
  • restart device.. still an issue.
  • FULL RESET, then restore, still an issue.
  • "Automatic Updates" have always been ENABLED
  • Wifi seems working (have 2 connections here, tried both)
  • ... I can reinstall old apps, or install new ones. so yeah Internet is working.


I am stuck at watchOS 9.2... with an update to something available.

I have spent 4 hours on this.
