I have a new apple watch series 3 and almost everyday I get a message saying it cannot install update because it needs 3.1 GB available storage. It is brand new. I have deleted anything it has allowed me to delete, still no luck.

Try this;

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.
