My watch will not update

I"m trying to pair my watch with my phone (series 3). As soon as I try to pair it alerts me that there is an update to install. I proceed with upgrade with watch on charger and phone connected to WiFi. I have tried this for a solid 3 hours know and I it is not happening. All I am getting is downloading to watch... and an estimated time remaining....

Watch face just has the kaleidoscope image and tells me to continue set up on iPhone. I'm just not getting anywhere.

Anybody have an tips????

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

FWIW, a lot of people are having problems updating a series 3 due to lack of sufficient memory. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times unpairing/pairing the series 3 watch for the update to finally work. For possible solutions, see the reply to:
