Problem updating Apple Watch Series 3 to 7.4

I updated my iPhone to the last software version (iOS 14.5) and now I have to pair my Apple Watch Series 3.

My watch has been initialized so when I start the process, my iPhone asks me to update it to the latest 7.4 software version.

I start the download and It seems to work perfectly, but when the software is extracted for installation, the installation stops and this message appears: “Unable to check for update - Not connected to the internet error”.

I’ve tried several times and on different devices (iPhone X and XS Max), even hard resetting iPhone and iWatch, but it doesn’t work.

Any suggestions?

It seems to be a software problem (probably due to iOS 14.5) because if I try to pair it to an iPhone with iOS 14.4, the pairing process works.

Please help Because now I have an unusable watch!

I've tried to pair it with an iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 14.3 and it works.

With this iPhone version of iOS (14.3) it's possible to pair the watch without updating it to 7.4 .

I've tried even to update the iWatch software directly by the watch itself and not by the iPhone but the message "Unable to check for upadate - An error occurred while checking for a software update" appears.

I'm getting mad.
