How to download apple watch update without wifi. I have an older apple watch that was previously paired with an iphone i don t have anymore. When the update is installing on your device you will see the apple logo. Type in a passcode if prompt and your device will get updated in a while.

When your computer gets connected to the internet over wifi tasks like pending software updates map data downloads in navigation apps podcast downloads in media apps etc happen automatically in the background sometimes even without the user being made aware of it. Make sure that your watch is connected to wi fi. Enter your passcode on apple watch.

This accepts the terms and conditions and your computer will begin downloading the ios update and applying it to your device. Choose the device icon at the top left and hit on the summary tab. If your apple watch has watchos 6 or later you can install subsequent updates without your iphone.

Click on check for update now followed by download and update. Tap proceed on your apple watch to begin the download. Launch itunes on pc and make the connection between iphone and pc using the usb cord.

However it won t let me pair it to my new iphone without updating the watch and the update says the watch must be on wifi. I stopped using it mostly because the battery life was so bad but i m giving it another shot. Modern day operating systems are usually programmed to take full advantage of wifi.
