Installing IOS 10.2 to my iWatch 9 series
Began installing the IOS 10.2 update and all began normally - THEN midway of the process ALL installation STOPPED/FROZE! SO! I did all of the usual: turn off/on; delete and attempt to reinstall! I then checked several Discussion Forums - They reported a similar issues (Seems that IOS 10.2 has some issues). Finally, I called Apple Support; they were friendly BUT NO HELP!

MY SUGGESTION: Apple needs to provided an "UPDATE/MODIFICATION" to IOS 10.2 update - it has some serious issues. We checked the line code and there were some ODD listings!
 
WOW! Success after several hours. SOLUTION to upgrade freeze! Unpair the iWatch 9 to Iphone 15 pro max! THEN pair! Everything worked: Iwatch 10.2 uploaded and installed smoothly. Total time involved was exactly 31 minutes from start to finish!
 
but they checked the line code!
I did the attempt at repair after the the watch and phone sat for about 41 minutes. After that time had passed, i made a decision that something was wrong with the entire process!

And YES we examined the "Line Code!"
