hi,

I'm not sure why my watch won't install the update. My iPhone is on the latest iOS 12.1.3

I tried rebooting my iPhone and Apple watch. My watch is on the charger and has over 50% charge.

And it is connected to WiFi ... It was telling me that it's not connected to WiFi but it is. Please help!!
[doublepost=1548400004][/doublepost]I even went into usage and deleted the data to try again but still no luck. All help is appreciated..
 
Did you try to power cycle it?

I recommend turning off BT on the iPhone first in its settings, not just control center. This will give you are warning in the Watch app, that you should ignore, it will speed up the update, since it will be sent much faster by WiFi than BT.

That said. If BT is enabled I don't understand that WiFi is needed, though I never tried. Just know my first update over BT was much longer than what I experience now over WiFi.
 
I had a similar issue. In the charger and so on.
I unlocked the watch, put back on the charger and it started the update
