apple watch series 3 wont update 6.2.8

Hey, I have tried a dozen times to update my Apple Watch to the latest version 6.2.8 and keeps saying that the update couldn’t be verified because I’m not connected to the internet.

Im 100% sure that I’m connect to the internet , already reset both devices on my iPhone already did a network settings reset , nothing seemed to help. I have the watch on the charger with at least 50% , they are correctly paired as well.

any fix for this issue ?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Forgot to mention to also switch on the bluetooth.

Possible solution (iWatch series 3):

Turn off your Apple Watch
Switch off Wi-Fi on your iPhone
Switch off Bluetooth on the iPhone
Switch on Wi-Fi on your iPhone and connect to the 2.4GHz network
Switch on Bluetooth
Now, turn on the Apple Watch
Start the watchOS update

What about other internet source (I mean another wi-fi hotspot, I guess mobile hotspot is good as well)?
