Apple Watch 3 will not update My Apple Watch Series 3 will not update. I had to unpair it to fix a glitch and now it won’t link back up without an update. The error says “unable to to verify update” and then when I verify it’s on the internet, it’ll “update” for several minutes until finally making it to the “preparing” screen and ultimately getting stuck there. This has happened several times now. I have done a hard reset on both devices and my iPhone 13pro max is updated to iOS 16.

Update Apple Watch Series 3 I got a series 3 Apple Watch that won’t update to the iOS 8.7.1. It keeps saying 3 hours for the download and then at some point that changes to prepairing for update which never happens. It’s been days now that I cannot get it to update. I have unpaired it and repaired it several times to restart the process but nothing works
