Apple Watch OS 6.3 stuck installing

I have removed my watch from the bluetooth on my iphone (11) and attempted numerous times to get it to install. I receive the same message when trying to pair saying it needs to be on the charger and in range of the phone's wifi, which it is in all cases. I have also attempted to unpair and install and it refuses to install. What am I doing worng? I feel like I never should have attempted the update as now I have an unusable watch.

Which series is it - S3? If you are installing the latest version on that model, you may need to power it off, then back on.

That will release some more free space for the installation to go thru.


Other than that and just as reference, follow the steps in here:
