installing watchOS 5.3.6 but stuck on

Trying to update my Apple Watch series 3 (watchOS 5.3.6) but it is stuck on 'installing' for hours. When I go to switch off the watch it will reset to factory settings and I don't want to lose all my data. Please help, thanks. B

When you unpair your watch a backup is made and when you re-pair the watch you can restore it from that backup and you won't lose any data.
