That’s way too long! Try these steps:


1. Make sure your iPhone and Watch are on the same Wi-Fi network.


2. Restart both devices.


3. Keep the Watch on its charger during the update.


4. Pause and restart the download in the Watch app.


5. If still slow, unpair and re-pair the Watch, then retry the update.
