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!

iPhone XS, iOS 14

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.

Or this;

Thanks I already do that, it took me half day.

  • Backup
  • unpair
  • pair
  • set as new watch
  • update
  • unpair
  • pair again
  • restore from backup.

Absolutely buls**t.


I switched to Apple years ago, because they did things that work easily and conveniently. This is neither easy nor convenient. This is not the quality I expect from a brand like Apple.

I can also deal with nonsense with much cheaper devices that do not have special fancy claims.
