Apple Watch Update

Hi! I recently got an apple watch from my friend that he was using. Very exciting and all untill I tried to pair it with my iPhone. When I pair it it says it's in need of an update and when I press "Update" It says "Could Not Install Update" It does not give me a reason and I pressed "Try Again" a hundred times. The other option it gives it to start over. I tried that a couple of times too. I just can't get it to work. I reinstalled the watch app. Tried powering on and off. Resetted Network Settings. Can someone please help?

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your Apple Watch


If the activation lock is on the watch then you won't get any further.
