"watchOS 5.3.8 your software is up to date"

When attempting to pair apple watch when it asks to check if software is up to date, you click on the text to verify and then it comes up with "watchOS 5.3.8 your software is up to date" and all you can do is CANCEL!!! There is no DONE or other option. Every attempt to get this to work only results in factory resets. Reinstalled Watch APP, OS up to date on phone (it's also brand new) and obviously it says the watch is up to date.

Iphone 11 pro.

Just got off with apple support -- what worked for me was taking the watch to a coffee shop to pair. Apparently the watch can't connect to 5G WiFi networks, but 2G works fine for the software update (and most public WiFi is 2G). FYI it did take over an hour to update.
