Athlytic Won’t Install on Apple Watch

If you’re having trouble installing Athlytic on your Apple Watch, don’t worry—there are a few common reasons why this might be happening and several solutions to try.

Step 1: Apple Watch Compatibility

Athlytic requires WatchOS 7 or later, which Apple released in September 2020. If your Apple Watch is running an older version of WatchOS, you may need to update it before installing Athlytic.

How to Check Your WatchOS Version & Update

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General → Software Update.

3. an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to update your Apple Watch.

Important: Apple dropped support for Series 0, 1, and 2 watches, meaning these older models cannot run WatchOS 7 or install Athlytic. If you have a Series 3 or newer, you should be able to install the app after updating.

Step 2: Check If Athlytic Is Available for Install

If your Apple Watch is compatible, but Athlytic is still not showing up, follow these steps:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down to find the Athlytic app.

• The list is divided into sections:
  • Apple’s built-in apps
  • Installed third-party apps
  • Third-party apps available for installation (this is where Athlytic should appear).

3. f Athlytic appears in the Available Apps section, tap Install.

If the app appears as “installing” but never completes, move on to the next troubleshooting steps.

Step3: Restart Both Your iPhone & Apple Watch

A simple reboot often fixes installation issues.

1. Restart your iPhone

• Hold down the Side button + Volume button (or just the Side button on older models) until you see Slide to Power Off.
• Wait a few seconds, then turn your iPhone back on.

2. Restart your Apple Watch

• Hold down the Side button on the Watch until the Power Off slider appears.
• Turn it off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.

3. Once both devices are back on, try installing Athlytic again from the Watch app.

Many users report that simply rebooting fixes the issue.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

Delete & Reinstall the Athlytic iPhone App

If Athlytic is still not showing up in the Watch app, try deleting and reinstalling the iOS app:

1. Delete Athlytic from your iPhone

• Press and hold the Athlytic app icon → Tap Remove App → Confirm.

2. Reinstall Athlytic

• Go to the App Store, search for Athlytic, and reinstall it.

3. Check the Watch app again to see if the option to install Athlytic now appears.

Manually Search for Athlytic in the Apple Watch App Store

If all else fails, try installing Athlytic directly from the App Store on your Apple Watch:

1. Open the App Store on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap the Search icon and type in Athlytic.
3. Tap Install and wait for the installation to complete.

This method has helped many users get Athlytic installed when other methods failed.

Try Installing on a Different Wi-Fi or Cellular Network

Sometimes, installation issues are related to network conditions. If you’re having trouble:

✔️ Try switching from Wi-Fi to cellular (or vice versa).

✔️ Try installing the app in a different location (home vs. work Wi-Fi).

✔️ Ensure your Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi during installation.

For some users, changing their internet connection helped the installation process complete successfully.
