Q: Apple Watch OS3 install and problems and solutions

more fun with watch OS3. 

 

Painfully slow install not download but install.  Takes over an hour and does strange Things along the way.  At one point the face goes black and you have to put in your password then the install face restarts and freezes about Two thirds of the way through. At this point I removed the watch from the charger {USE THE CHARGER} and the startup Apple appeared after a short period.  At this point everything works. 

 

Use the charger during the update and be very patient. 

 

Remember to tap the watch and put in your password when the face goes black about 40 minutes into the update. 

 

Good Luck!
