Update of new watch consistently fails
#2
I received my developer kit yesterday and had the exact same experience when updating the firmware.

1. Connect to the watch via Gadget Bridge
2. Download and open the DFU package (I used the Seafile client to download it and open it)
3. Proceed with installation in Gadget Bridge by tapping the `Install` button
4. Upload commences.  A progress bar appears on the phone and the watch
5. At some random point during the upload the `Upload failed` message appears on the phone and `Error` on the watch.

After every failure, I had to reset the watch in order for Gadget Bridge to connect to the watch again.  If I repeat these steps enough times, I eventually get lucky and the upload completes successfully. 

I ended up having to do this again today because I reset my watch and it reverted to the stock 0.7.1 firmware.  I have no idea what's causing this but I'm glad I'm not the only one that has experienced it.  I thought I was going crazy!

My setup:
- Pixel 2
- Gadget Bridge 0.58.1
- Upgrading firmware from 0.7.1 to 1.2.0
