Apr 10, 2016 6:21 PM in response to lcrsby ChrisJ4203,★HelpfulMake sure your iPhone is connected to wi-fi and power, and also make sure the watch is connected to power. Cancel the update and agree when it says reset. Power the device back on again and attempt to pair it to your phone. It should check for the update and go ahead. I had a hard time Saturday morning with my new Apple Watch getting it to update. Seemed to be a wi-fi network issue. Doing like I said got mine to finally go. Make sure you have the latest iOS on your iPhone as well.

Apr 10, 2016 6:35 PM in response to lcrsby Ralph9430,In addition to what ChrisJ4203 said, your Watch also much be charged to at least 50% before being the update process.
1. You iPhone must be connected to power and a Wi-Fi network.
2. You Watch must be have at least a 50% charge in its battery, reconnected to its charger and be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.

Apr 11, 2016 6:43 AM in response to Ralph9430by lcrs,Guys, I really appreciate your input, but so far same old stuff, phone is at 100% charge and on the charger. Don't know the amount of charge on the phone, it's been on the charger since yesterday and still on it. I have the latest software on the phone, it's a 6s plus. I keep trying, with the same results.

Try the following steps, which may help to address issues at or before the "verifying" stage.
However, do not interrupt your iPhone or watch if the process has already reached the "installing" stage.
- On your iPhone, close the Watch app and all other open apps:
- Double-click the Home button, then swipe upwards on each app preview.
- Remove your watch from the charger and restart both devices:
- Turn both off together, then restart your iPhone first;
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;
- To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
- Turn both off together, then restart your iPhone first;
- Replace your watch on the charger, keep your iPhone connected to power and try updating again by following the instructions here:
Before trying the update again, it may also help to reset the network settings on your iPhone. You will need to reconnect your iPhone to your Wi-Fi network afterwards, so have your password ready.
- On your iPhone: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- Restart both devices again after doing this.
- On your iPhone, close the Watch app and all other open apps:
