Hi, I am encountering the same problem however it says “checking for update” and just continues to spin and spin. Any idea how I can get my Apple Watch to update?

Watch update 10.3.1 always break,
I did:
restart watch
restart phone
on/off Bluetooth
on /off 5G
phone full charge (also, always plug in charger too)
watch full charge (also, always plug in charger too)
not continue, never
Can somebody tell anything what happened?
thanks
This worked for me! Thank’s for the tip! I was in contact with apple support and the person I spoke with verified that this was a big problem and that they didn’t have a fix for it. They only asked me to get back to them during the week. But the thing about deleting the OS update and turning off auto updates solved it for me, for now.
Trying to update to OS 10.5. Sticks on “Verifying” After a long wait, error message says I am not connected to internet, which isn’t true. My watch is connected to the internet through my iPhone 15. Where do I get support to correct this issue.
also my iPhone 15 is brand new, and Face recognition is not available when I try to set it up
Same here! My phone updated last night and I started using my fully charged watch when I got up ot 7. At 8 my watch was down to 10%. I’ve never needed to charge my watch during the day, ever!
While researching THAT issue, I’m now also stuck trying to do the 10.4 update. I’ve restarted everything so many times I can’t even count. It never finishes the 10.4 update and I have no idéa of what happened with my phone update last nigth vs the fact that my watch battery is crashing. Why isn’t Apple doing anything about this??
I’m having the same issue with the update being stuck in preparing mode and my watch’s battery being drained in less than 5 hours. It was perfectly fine yesterday.
Yes and now my watch is rapidly running out of power!
Having the same problem. I think you can wipe the watch and then turn off auto updates. A total pain.
new plan. Turn off auto update. Delegate the update file. wait till they fix this.
Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Tap General > Storage. Delete the update file.
Where do you find the update file because I can’t find it and so also apple support did not find it when they took over my phone! So I’m stuck with the problem.
Does not work
