Hey, I bought a new watch and it starts by forcing me to update. However, the watchos 26.3 update stuck has been on 2 hours and just keeps jumping between 1 and 2hours. Any solutions?
It is >50% and connected to charger.
iPhone 16, iOS 26
Is your iPhone also being charged during that time and connected to the same Wi-Fi, both devices laying next to each other?
Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Some users switched off Bluetooth on the devices, so that the watch uses the Wi-Fi connection, which is faster.
Also make sure that no VPN or firewall is blocking the contact to Apple servers.
