No space on Apple Watch to update Hi! I cannot install the update on my Apple Watch because it seems to be “full”. It is serie 3 with 4.7 Gb of space on it. I have 11 photos, 2 apps (Added by myself) and no music so I cannot understand Why there only 994 mb free to be used. Please find photo attached (it’s in Italian)

Apple Watch 3 don't have enough space for update I uninstall all apps on my Apple Watch and still can't update to 7.4, because I don't have a 3.0GB of free space for 600MB update. Thats insane!

Unpair your watch from your iPhone then pair it back. That will clear out lots of space.
