do you have a solution for an apple watch just being paired, i dont have access to the apple watch settings or anything until it updates so i cant use those functions

This took me from 12 hours to 14 minutes. Thank you.

Thank you for the video! I was at 2 hrs before watching your video and now the update is moving much quicker. Now I'm down to 8 mins.

If your watch is unpaired and needs an update you’re fucked. Mine came around but it took HOURS. I hope this helps bc I searched everywhere and ended up just having to wait. So strange bc usually apple updates don’t take all day

I cleared it and gave it away recently. It was frustratingly slow to clear it, update it, and set it up for a new user. I am never buying one of these things ever again.

Trying to get 7.3 for my I watch series 3 and every time I turn off Bluetooth.... I can’t connect to my watch at all. It won’t let me proceed. Also is taking forever...3 hours or more it says. This isn’t working.

Thanks Brother! By killing the Bluetooth! The time went from 6 hours to 2 minutes! 🏆🏆🏆 All heroes don’t wear capes! And a hero makes YouTube video!

Why in the world would battey drain matter when it has to be connected to the charger to update anyway??

[royalty]

If I turn off the Bluetooth and my internet drop will that cause a problem?

The Installing section takes hours... It is hard to believe.

[Jenlenjen]

I turned the Bluetooth off and it restarted the install but it’s going much faster now. Thanks!

Mine has been on 3 hour for over an hour and it hasn’t changed a bit.

[vencileonidas]

Waited for fucking 16hrs just for it to end up not connect successfully because of being inactive 😤😤😤I'm so fucking frustrated

[funmilayovictoriabandele]

I just got my Apple Watch SE! It is taking forever to update! I am in slow connection though!

[ceciliav]

Went to 9 hours to not letting me connect my phone to my watch because I have Series 3😭😭

[ipconfigearth]

It takes long while my Internet is so fast

[joselyolmedo]

I was 6 hours into this update and turning off the bluetooth was so helpful!!

The newer devices have “newer” internals….. no. It’s software obsolescence. It could be just as fast if Apple didn’t throttle and brick good hardware.
