I cannot update my watch due to storage issues.

It tells me it can’t update due to storage. How do I free up more storage? I have 4.8 gb capacity and 2.3 gb available. Update 6.2.8 is 135mb.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Unpair your Apple Watch via the Watch app on your iPhone.

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch,this deletes temporary and corrupted files

and also re-indexes the file system freeing up a surprisingly large amount of storage space.
