Apple Watch 3 software update problem

I can't do latest software update because I need 2.5 GB free. After removing all possible apps and whatever else I could find, I am only down to 2.2 GB. Is there any way to remove Apple apps to make room, or is there any other ideas? Thanks for any help!

Unable to update Apple Watch due to lack of storage space My watch only has 4.1 GB and I need to have 2.5 GB free just to do a minor update? How about they make it possible to delete THEIR apps that I don’t need. I’ve already deleted everything else and have only 1.8 GB free. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

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

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch again,this usually frees up

enough storage space to update your watch.And without any loss of data.
