Good evening Ayurra Qamara,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you are trying to update your Apple Watch Series 3 to watchOS 7, but the Apple servers are busy. The resources below will provide some additional information regarding this.


Apple System Status


Update your Apple Watch

"If you need help updating

Try these steps:

  1. Make sure that your Apple Watch connects to its charger
  2. Restart your Apple Watch. Press and hold the side button until you see Power Off, then drag the slider. To turn your watch on again, press and hold the side button.
  3. Restart your paired iPhone.
  4. Try to start the update again. 


If the update won't start, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap General > Usage > Software Update, then delete the update file. After you delete the file, try to download and install watchOS again.


Learn what to do if you see 'Cannot Install Update' when updating Apple Watch."


Take care.
