Is this the only way? I have no media on my Watch and deleted every app off of it. Series 3, btw.

Mine took a little over two hours to update (iPhone X to Apple Watch Series 4), from start of download, to being ready.

Not enough free space error on my AW3 also. Says the watchOS 7 is 948MB, but then says I need 3.1GB of free space?

The install is taking a long, long time on my old series 3.
I wonder if the new watches will come with WatchOS 7 preinstalled.

Sounds like you may to wipe and install. I had to do that a few times during the beta with my series 3.

I did a restart and I think that may have worked. It's still downloading (I didn't read the post to disable BT until I had already started the update) to the watch, but it's been running much longer than it did prior when I got the free space error.
UPDATE: it counted down all the way and the iPhone showed an error that it could not verify the update because it wasn't connected to the internet. BS. It's on WIFI and CELLULAR. This is a PITA...

That error happened to me once during the betas. You are right. It is a pain in the butt with the series 3. I miss my series 5 already. Lol The 6 needs to get here asap.

I can't believe you can't create your own watch faces. All the complications are there, it seems like it would be easy as hell to add feature in the iOS Watch App to allow you create your own face.
For all of Apple's great idea and innovation, it seems like there are always glaring features that are requested for YEARS that they refuse to implement. Like small photos on phone calls - depending on how you sync contacts, you get full-screen faces or small thumbnails. Seems like it should have been an easy option in the settings. In iOS 14, they are now the smaller version by default, but it should have always been an option.
Oh well.

Finally got it up and running on my Apple Watch Series 3. Didn’t realize so many of the new features aren’t even supported. Oh well, looking forward to my Series 6 arriving on Friday.

I think young folk (if they are fortunate enough to own an Apple Watch) will love the animated Memoji watch faces.

Installing on my series 3. What a PIA to install. This Likely just killed any chance of me ever buying a Apple Watch again. Without any apps I may as well go back to my Fossil.
Way to go Apple!
Way to go Apple!

You can install the apps after the install.
