Hi irshadhameedkutty,


Your Apple Watch updates through your iPhone, so it's important to ensure your iPhone is up-to-date, has a strong Wi-Fi connection, and stays close to your Apple Watch during the update. We recommend that you perform the following steps when your iPhone can stay with the Apple Watch and on the same Wi-Fi network to ensure both devices have a fresh connection and optimal performance for the update.


  1. Update your iPhone, if applicable.
  2. Restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
  3. Confirm Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on both devices.
  4. Connect both devices to power.
  5. Attempt to update the Apple Watch again.


If it fails again, try on another Wi-Fi network (if possible). Otherwise, it may be time to connect with Apple Support. You can find them from the Get Support portal in most countries.


Regards.
