WatchOS 7.3 Update stuck on “installing”

Hi, I started the 7.3 update about 2 hours ago... the “preparing” bar completed on my phone, as did the circle of dots on the watch.


I have had “installing... do not restart Apple Watch or remove from charger until update completes” for over 30 mins now. The whole update is taking forever!!!


is this normal???


Thanks.
