I am using a iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11.1 software and an iWatch Series 3 running 4.01 software.

I have today tried to download the new iOS 4.1 software version for my iWatch 3 and it downloaded perfectly through my iWatch App on my iPhone 7 Plus as usual.

However it seem to be unable to complete the 'verification' process and therefore I am unable to install it in my iWatch.

I have tried to reboot the iPhone and reselect the iWatch App, but it continually shows 1 software update available for download and the app continues to show the iPhone is still in the 'verification process' after 2 hours. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem or again restart the same download?
