Is it possible to update Apple Watch without WiFi

I have am excellent and fast mobile internet with unlimited data. I own an airport express but without excess to Ethernet. I use personal hotspot for update my iOS and macOS. 

When I try to update my Apple Watch with all the necessary steps I always get an error. 

Is it possible to update an Apple Watch with the personal hotspot option? (Connecting to an other personal Hotspot than mine is also not working) 

Thanks for helping me!

Hi - I believe you need to be connected to wifi with your iPhone and Watch on the same network.  See below from Apple's website:

To update the software on your Apple Watch:

• Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
• Make sure your Apple Watch is on its charger and has at least a 50 percent charge.
• Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi.
• Keep your iPhone next to your Apple Watch to make sure they're in range.

Can the Apple Watch connect to a personal hotspot settled on an iPhone?

I don't see that referenced anywhere.  My guess would be it would not work since your iPhone is generating that wifi hotspot and not joining it specifically.  So your Watch would not see it.

Update your Apple Watch

1. Keep your Apple Watch on its
   charger until the update completes.
2. On your iPhone, open the Apple
   Watch app, tap the My Watch tab, then tap General > Software Update.
3. Download the update. If asked for
   your iPhone passcode or Apple Watch passcode, enter it.
4. Wait for the progress wheel to
   appear on your Apple Watch. It could take from several minutes to an hour for
   the update to complete.

Leave your Apple Watch on the charger while the update
completes. Don't restart your iPhone or Apple Watch, and don't quit the Apple
Watch app. When the update completes, your Apple Watch will restart on its
own.

If you need help updating

Try these steps:

1. Make sure that your Apple Watch
   connects to its charger.
2. Restart your Apple
   Watch. Press and hold the side button until you see Power Off, then drag
   the slider. To turn your watch on again, press and hold the side button.
3. Restart your paired
   iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears,
   then drag the slider. To turn your iPhone on again, press and hold the
   Sleep/Wake button. 
4. Try to start the update
   again.

If the update won't start, open the Apple Watch app on
your iPhone, tap General > Usage > Software Update, then delete the update
file. After you delete the file, try to download and install watchOS
again.

Hi. I understand that you have the same problem as many other. It's not possible to update your Apple Watch without wifi.
