Update not working. Requiring me to reset my watch. I chose not too and now my watch is not paired with my phone. Frustrated.

Why is the new update not working? It keeps saying watch must me reset. I don’t want to do that so I exit out. It is now not paired with my phone. Very frustrating.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Apple Watch update is stuck in a loop of unpair/update/reset... my watch is unusable since the last update. I get a message that says cannot update, unpair and the messages just continue to loop. it is as if my phone and watch cannot recognize each other. is there a way to either reset back to the version before this update or skip the update and still pair my phone?

Watch will not pair Bc it will not update!! Watch was not working with my phone Bc it said it needed an update - it never updated. Gets stuck on the screen saying “updating”, (in gray) and it never did. Then the watch says to use the phone to continue update. But I can’t Bc nothing is there! Soo frustrating!!!!!

My watch will not pair because when it tries, I get a message saying I need to update my phone. My phone has been updated and backed up. Watch will not pair bc it’s need to update. When it tried to update the watch the message appears that I need to update my phone. My phone is updated, backed up and have reset both more than once. The watch has been reset to factory.
