May 19, 2015 2:59 PM in response to mar7aibby josekimber1,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.

May 19, 2015 6:10 PM in response to josekimber1by Catbird2,From your photo it appears the "downloading to watch..." is still on the screen beneath the alert box. If so it looks like your download was not completed.
I'm having a silmilar situation but am afraid to touch the watch or iPhone: I started the download over an hour ago and am still getting the "downloadiing " message. Must be an extreme backlog on the web.
Suggestion to others: maybe this isn't a good time to install 1.0.1. Also, it now makes sense that they require the watch to be on charge!

May 19, 2015 9:20 PM in response to mar7aibby Charles Conway,I had the same "Unable to Verify Update" message across many attempts from different internet connections throughout the day. I found that choosing Reset All Content And Settings from the watch and then restoring it from a backup when re-pairing allowed me to perform the 1.0.1 update.

Dec 16, 2015 9:23 AM in response to awkgojby arillius,Finally got it updated. Same thing happened to me, all requirements met and confirmed. First it failed to verify 3 times, after rebooting the phone it failed to check for updates. After a few minutes it was ready to verify the update again. All failed for the same reason - you are not connected to the internet, so whatever checks for internet connectivity is not working. If you want to continue the futility you can try to verify again, which seems to just hang in the state, Verifying... I continued with the insanity and to my surprise, it got to the state of Installing..., I crossed my fingers... the apple shows on the watch and the circular progress indicator shows 25% after about 6 min or so. and about 20 min to complete the circle, then it starts another progress circle that goes much faster, then back to the apple logo... and it boots up, It's working again!

This case is same with me.
My Apple Watch: watch sport OS 1.0
My Iphone6 OS: iOS 8.3.1
I can not pair my apple watch because, apple watch must be updated to finish pairing. Unfortunately, my watch can not be updated as image below:
To all bro: Do you have any suggestion for this.
Note: I bough apple via apple online store Singapore.
Thanks so much.
Best Regards.

In order to be able to update Apple Watch to the latest version of watchOS, it is now necessary for your iPhone to first be updated to the latest version of iOS.
Update your iPhone and then try updating your watch again:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
