Apple Watch 3 not enough storage for Update 6.2.8

I have an Apple Watch 3 and would like to update to the latest update (6.2.8). I have 0 apps, 0 songs, and only 20 pictures on my watch, and I only have 1.7 gb of free space. Under usage, activity takes 104 mb, photos take 20.7 mb, calendar takes 17.5 mb and there are a three more less than that. There is not a way that I've tried to make room available for the new update.


Anyone else having the same issue, or know of a different way to update my watch?

Try unpairing and pairing your watch again and restoring from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system. This helps free a lot of space.
