I updated my watch today and now my phone says "Connecting your Apple Watch. This may take a moment" for an excessive amount of time. I have resetted both the phone and watch numerous times and tried to repair them. I keep getting the message. It is an Apple Watch 2 and and Iphone 11 pro. iphone is up to date, watch should be but I cannot access the watch app on phone because it either has the "connecting" screen or prompting me to pair a watch screen. Please help me fix this issue.

What is the fix
