Unable to Check for Update - Apple Watch

I have just spent about 2 hours on an online chat trying to resolve this one. Apple have confirmed after diagnostic tests that both phone and watch are working correctly. I have reset phone and watch, turned wifi and bluetooth on and off, paired and unpaired, etc. all to no avail. Apple don't have an answer.

Same here.

iOS 8.3 + Watch OS 1.0

Fear not everyone. This is happening in general. I've been fortunate to have spent around 60 hours tinkering with mine and finding various faults. Apple have been calling me regular over the last 24 hours and I've found solutions to certain problems and passed them onto Apple. I have also taken part in a Apple discussion which has been passed onto the tech guys.

HOpefully the teething problems will be resolved very shortly. After all it is a new product and there will always be hiccups.

IS there an update though?

I am having the same issue. Spoke to Apple support yesterday and they said a firmware/software update is not yet available.

The check for software update worked on Friday and stopped by noon Saturday......

I am having the exact same problem.

I'm having this same issue

Yes. Same here. I checked that yesterday and thought my wifi was just being freaky like it has been the last few days. Glad to see it's not my wireless connection but is actually a watch/phone software issue.

iPhone 5s 8.3 sport 42mm 1.0 same with me too. apple support confirmed there is no problem but it may be because there is a software update on the way.

Although when i first got my watch and paired it to iPhone i checked for a software update and it came up with your software is up to date and only started doing what we are all suffering with since Sunday.

1:58 DST Monday.... It is fixed!! "Watch OS 1.0 Your software is up to date".....

I suspect it was an over worked Apple server ... everyone doing the same thing at the same time! :-)

Yes, it fixed! Waiting update. With new languages))

Now that Watch OS 1.0.1 is released today, I'm having this problem of "Unable to Verify Update" because of no internet connection. Well I'm typing this from my iPhone so.. Anyway.. I hope it's just temporary as last time.

I've just done mine and it has worked fine. I expect it is just network overload caused by too many people trying to download it at once, so I'd keep trying.
