Look like this is different version than RC was. I had RC installed and got a new update of 7.1 today... Profile is deleted so different version...
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully this fixes the constant reboot issue I have with my watch. It's basically unusable because of it.
PLEASE let this actually fix the battery problems with my S3.
My watch was great until OS7, and now it stays around 100% for ten hours, then drops like a log until ~40% at which point it dies without warning. I’ve reset this watch more times in the past 2 months than I had in the previous three years I’ve owned it.

Another thing I hope this fixes on my AW6 is that when there is a phone call coming in it doesn’t give me any information, my watch just vibrates like crazy.
My series 6 can’t hold a charge longer than 5 hours with WOS7.1! It’s my first Apple Watch... any suggestions?
Is it confirmed that the Intercom feature isn’t included in WatchOS 7.1? Is it working for anyone?
That's what I've done the last few updates, but not working this time. 1.9GB available on my S3 after many forced restarts.
I cannot understand why 2.6GB available space is needed for a 366MB update. Stupid.
I'll just live with the watchOS I have for now.
This wasn't enough when trying to update my wife's Series 3 GPS. After a lot of fiddling, I finally found that if I also went to Settings->General->Website Data and deleted that, the update barely had enough room.
I have unpaired, repaired, deleted everything, etc. Still don't have enough room... series 3 GPS. Any idea?
AW3 on 7.0.1, auto-rebooting several times per day. Cannot update to 7.1, even after unpairing to free up enough space. Update hangs at “Preparing” for a very long time, then ultimately returns an “unable to verify due to lack of internet connection” — which is simply not true; WiFi is solid, phone is using it just fine. Tried at least six times, to no avail. Seems Apple has completely abandoned us AW3 users.
If you’re going to completely nerf our watches with broken updates, at least give us the ability to downgrade/rollback to the last, fully functioning OS. This is horrible.

Are you trying to update via the function in the iPhone och directly from the AW?
Is the iPhone close to the AW during the process?
Is the AW connected to the iPhone?
@Zyqs - I have tried both methods, several times. I have always performed watchOS updates, from the iPhone, but I was desperate to get this installed, so I tried both. Sadly, neither approach is successful.
Yes, iPhone (iPhone X) is sitting three inches from AW3 as it is attempting update, and the phone is connected to both my home's WiFi and AT&T's cellular network, with strong signals to each.
Yes, AW3 is connected (paired) to the phone -- it has to be to even try. I also checked the WiFi status on the AW3 itself, prior to attempting update, and it is successfully on the home network, full bars.
There is clearly something amiss with the 7.1 update, via AW3. If anyone reading along actually has an AW3, that successfully installed 7.1, can you lend some advice, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks, in advance.
After you unpair, then re-paired, if you power cycle the AW3, you *should* have enough space to start the install process. However, don't get to excited -- if you're experience is anything like mine, you'll get the "Update failed to verify, because it's not connected to this internet", which is 100% inaccurate.
But here's to giving it a shot. Let us know if you find any success.
