I get this error attempting to check for iOS update on watch. I have already tried powering off the watch and phone, reset watch and recovered from a backup, tried to do update from the watch app on the phone, but none of these has fixed the problem. I have had the watch for six months and was previously able to perform updates directly from the watch.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Greetings jpb822,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We suggest unpairing the Apple Watch from the companion iPhone, and then setting it up as new. You can then update the watch, and then restore from the backup. The steps are found in the Apple Support article: If you don’t have enough space to update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
"Unpair and update your Apple Watch
next to the watch that you want to unpair. Next, set up your Apple Watch with your iPhone. When asked whether you want to set up as new or restore from a backup, choose to set up as new. Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish setup. If you want to update to the watchOS beta, reinstall the beta profile after setup is complete.
Finally, update your Apple Watch."
Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.
Have a great day!
