Q: Apple Watch Update Errors
I am having problems updating my Apple Watch. Anybody else in the same boat? I am connected to wi-fi, my watch is on the charger and is at 100% battery and it is in range of my Apple Watch.
I keep getting the error message: "Unable to Verify Update - The Watch OS update couldn't be verified because you are not connected to the internet."
Has anybody else had this error and were they able to get around it? Thanks!

This might not seem like the best way to solve the problem, but it worked for me. I reset my Watch back to the state it originally came in, restored my watch from back-up (from my iPhone), and then applied the update.
For those of you who like step-by-step instructions...
1. On the Watch: Go to General --> Settings --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings
2. Let the Watch reset back to basically the state that it came in when it first arrived.
3. Pair the Watch again to the iPhone: Open the iPhone app and pair it to my Apple Watch.
4. Restored my Watch from the back-up.
5. Put my Watch on the charger.
6. Opened the Apple Watch app and applied the update from my iPhone.
hope this helps!
