My watch will not allow updates!!! It says it needs 2.1GB and I have turned off and removed everything it allows me to, but still can only get 2gb of space! So frustrating!

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

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch,this frees up a surprisingly large amount of storage space.And without any loss of data.
