Error during update to 10.6. Help!

I have tried several attempts to update my Series 4 Apple Watch after purchasing a Series 14 iPhone. Followed instructions about leaving it on charger, on Wi-Fi and iPhone in its charger nearby and leaving them together during the night. Five attempts with same no result and getting a notice that an error had occurred each time. How can I correct this? Please help!

Thanks,

Oscar

Unable to update Apple 7 watch...reports some untitled error When attempting to update my Apple 7 watch either via the ''paired'' iphone or just using the watch without the iphone, the message is: Unable to update error, should update the iphone first. The Phone is up todate !. I have unpaired and reset the watch twice and the same error listing keeps coming up on either method of the update attempts.... today is 10th October 2023, I have been having this problem for a couple of days. I have read all the help files / comments I think (( which in part seem a little antiquated / outdated )). ... Does anybody have some RECENT remedies that I might be able to try to get this thing to function properly.. One question in my mind is: Should the message be something like " No updates available at this time" rather than asking / telling me to update the phone 1st each time I try it ???? Just a passing thought ?.

Getting error while trying to update my Apple Watch Series 8 I did not use my iWatch in a few months. I turned it on today and was asked to update the software to watchOS 11.0.1. On my iphone it says: Estimating time remaining..., and after some time I get an error: Software Update Failed An error occured downloading the latest version of watchOS on your Apple Watch. Both devices are plugged in. I tried to rrestart both the iphone and the watch but it did not work, same error when I try to update. I also reset the watch and now it forces me to update the software when pairing. I am unable to use my watch now because of this error, can anyone help? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
