Hello. I know the watch has to be charging to do the automatic update, but I charge mine either during the day or in the evening and wear it overnight. The automatic updates only seem to want to happen overnight, because sometime in the morning I get a message saying the watch wasn’t connected to power and couldn’t be updated.
is there an option somewhere to choose when an update is available and anytime when connected to power?
thanks friends!
Hello, heathercharleston.
Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article which can help with this issue: Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support. The article explains that for watch updates to complete, the following conditions must be met:
Please note: "It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete. You might want to update overnight or wait until you have time." Since this process can take some time, that is why the overnight setup is suggested. If you don't want to leave the watch on the charger overnight, you can manually update when you wish by following the steps in the "Update directly on your Apple Watch" section.

Just update the watch when it's convenient for you. You don't need to automatically update at all. I don't. When an update comes out, I choose to do the update when I know my phone can be nearby and my watch on its charger.
