Hi,
I’m trying to setup my a series 1 Apple Watch but I’m running into an error.

The watch is wiped and reset.

So I begin by pairing my phone and watch by scanning the picture, then it notifies me that a software update is needed.

When trying to update, I get an error message saying: “checking for software update failed because you are not connected to the internet”, however I 100% am connected to internet.

I’ve tried multiple times, unpairing the watch and resetting it. I’ve also tried a force restart and it won’t work.

Any advice?
 
Solved: resetting network settings on my iPhone fixed it
