Apple Watch Setup
My Apple Watch has been installing watchOS 7.2 for over 24 hours. Is this normal or should I quit and start again?

Hi Lizzie2017,
It looks like your Apple Watch update has taken over 24 hours to complete the install of watchOS 7.2. Making sure that you are able to install the new software so you have access to new features and bug fixes is important.
Has your watch been connected to Wi-Fi and charging while the update is installing? Do you see progress on the watch display? If things seem to be not progressing go ahead and restart your Apple Watch.
How to restart your Apple Watch
If the watch continues to stall let us know which iPhone your watch is paired with and the iOS version installed. Also, if you have issues with other internet connections on your devices.
Take care!
