Thanks guys… appreciate the advice. I did try rebooting both the iPhone & watch but still have the same issue.
The router is fine. I checked the download whilst it was downloading to the watch and I was still receiving over 500mbps with another app.
I even tried turning off Bluetooth so the watch only used wifi. Still the same.
Darn it dude. Can you try doing it on different WiFi networks? Sometimes when I do it on school networks it’s slower so I do all my updates on my Apple devices at home
Not really goldmac. Only access to my home wifi but that is fast as it is. Later when I have a bit more free time I’ll try on the watch app General/Storage and delete the watchOS 26 file then start again.
Great approach to try. Lmk if that alleviates the issue I heard some people did that too.
Deleting the stored file did the trick. There must have been corruption in the file.
not getting battery notifications again when it is fully charged

O dang that sounds no good! That bug returned, right? Can you switch it on and off?
