"How to free up storage on your Apple Watch
You can free up storage on your Apple Watch by removing any music or removing any photos that you've synced to your watch. You can also remove some apps to free up more space.
To check how much available storage your watch has, open the Settings app, then tap General > Storage.
If you don't have enough storage to update your Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch might say that you need more available storage to install a watchOS update.
If you have Apple Watch Series 4 or later, or Apple Watch SE, try each of the steps below.
If you have Apple Watch Series 3, skip directly to the steps to unpair and update your Apple Watch.

Unpair and update your Apple Watch
Next, set up your Apple Watch with your iPhone. When asked whether you want to set up as new or restore from a backup, choose to set up as new. Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish setup.
If you want to update to the watchOS beta, reinstall the beta profile after setup is complete.
Finally, update your Apple Watch.
Restore from backup
