Hi, I'm having trouble with pairing and updating my Apple Watch with IPX.
Some time ago, after a few months' break from use, I wanted to start using the Watch again.
When trying to install the update, I got a message that I have enough space for the update (watchos 7), so I restored the watch to the factory settings but the problem continued.
I read on the internet that such problems have already occurred and you should disconnect a pair of IPs with Watch and I did so.

Unfortunately, now when I try to pair, it pops up that I need to update first and each time it shows a message that either I do not have internet access (checking on different WIFIs) or when it clicks it pops up that I do not have space for an Apple Watch (and I have I was restoring it to factory settings and deleting the contents).

The phone has updatedoftware, Watch on the charger all the time.
I also made suggestions from the Internet, i.e. logging out of iCloud or hard reset the phone and watch.

PS. I checked on the second IP and it looks the same.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Screen in Polish but first says that cannot check updates, secound no storage for instal update.

I was in the same situation with the S3 I bought a couple of weeks ago... also including hard resetting and erasing everything.

I'm not sure if that really helped, but in the end (I was desperate) I tried connecting the iPhone to a dedicated 2.4GHz WiFi (as the watch supports only this) and after some (a lot) of retries and restarts of the pairing process, it began updating. This process took about 2 hours but finally I was able to pair the watch successfully and now it's working fine.

Seems like you just have to hang in there and don't give up.

The last bit of instructions was what I have done to reset it, as there were no other options since it was unpaired...

Thank You for message but i have 2.4GHz Wifi and tried on two another.
So You suggesting to trying to pair -> update->error(no storage)->restore Watch and repeat to success?

That‘s exactly what I did for at least 20 times until it finally started updating. In between hard resetting and erasing all data, I also did a couple of cancels and restarted the pairing process. At some point the update worked and I could pair the watch
