Go to General and About in settings. See how much space you have free. Every new major update I’ve had to reset and restore from backup (I think logs eat up the space) then it works.
You could try removing music or photos from your watch, as those are the things that usually use up the most space in your Watch storage.
This is a known issue for series 3 owners. The previous thread got deleted. Only way to fix this is to completely erase and restore as a new watch, then update. Very annoying! I will not bother updating.
Then you don’t need to free up that much space. If there are any apps you never use, try uninstalling them. Maybe try @slooksterPSV’s suggestion about resetting and restoring from backup.
I got the same error last night, need to do this later when I get off work.
I had to do this with 6.0 when it came out. 6 I had 900MB free but some audio had synced don’t know how. Anyways reset and restore had 4.1GB so logs??
I got the same thing. Decided not to bother. I’ll wait until my series 6 arrives, then erase and update the series 3 before I give it to my daughter.
