There are a few points to check.


> Check your iPhone has a good WiFi connection to download the software update

> Your Apple Watch should be connected on charger power for software updates to go smoothly.


Apart from that it should just happen automatically. See Apple's guide to the setup, Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support as a checklist.


For a more detailed guide, please see Apple Watch User Guide - Apple Support
