Apple Watch pairing

i have just purchased a series 5 Apple Watch (demo model) to replace my old one. When I try to pair it and set it up in the app it says it needs to have the new update and only gives me the choice to update before I pair it. I then click search for update but it seems to load for ages with no luck for the update to show up and will either say I have no wifi (when I do) or just keep loading. Anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it? Thanks in advance:)

Is Demo Model the Culprit?:

If it is a demo model, then it is probably pre-configured. So, take it back to the seller, having them sign out of it, letting you sign into it afterwards.
