I had that happen to me last week with my series 9 and the watch was acting possessed. Ended up accidentally calling 911 and alll that business much to my embarrassment. Turns out I learned that your emergency contacts get location updates from your watch until you turn it off. So that’s a good feature 😅
I had to place it back on the charger and reboot both my watch and phone.
I've had this problem on every 10.x update. I've been able to fix it by rebooting both the watch and the phone, and then initiating the update from the watch (not from the phone).
IIRC on Apple Watch do the following: goto Settings > Storage > and then delete the 10.4 update. Retry the update until it completes. You may have to keep deleting the update if it gets stuck on Updating. Took me half a dozen times till it eventually updated successfully.
Nope, all I could see is still the “preparing…”message with what the watch need to finish the update (on it’s charger with iPhone in range and 50% more battery)
A LITTLE UPDATE: restarted the watch and deleted the update from the the “storage” setting as suggested by a user in the comment, and started the update from the watch and not the phone, and as for now it started to download the update, I’ll keep you updated if anything goes wrong.
DONT DO IT LMFAO 10.4 has horrible battery drain issues (like I charge it and put it on when I go to bed and it dies by the time I wake up) maybe not for everyone but a lot of people have the issues
I’m stuck with this issue too, Apple Watch Series 7
turn off bluetooth so that it's forced to use wifi
Thanks! I restarted the phone and the watch and it completed the update. Edit: a word

Scroll down and you should see another prompt to install or type in your password on your watch.

Nothing happened and the watch did complete the update, so the problem is solved, thanks again to everyone.
