Apple Watch Series 9 won’t update Hi! I’ve had my Apple Watch since Christmas and have had no issues until I tried to update it to 10.5. It is a series 9 and I have tried every fix available I have found online. I have even gone as far to completely set it back up as new, restart both my phone and watch and it still won’t update it’s telling me “unable to verify no internet access” when it’s connected to the internet. I have completely exhausted all options and don’t know what to do. Please help.
