Cannot install WatchOS 7.6.1

Hello,

I have the Apple Watch Series 3 and I Cannot install watchOS 7.6.1.

I have reset the power on the watch, unpaired it, reset my phone and factory reset my watch and I still get "Cannot Install Update" "To install the WatchOS update, unpair yourApple Watch and pair it again in the Apple Watch app on your iphone."

I have done this 10 times and it doesn't work and since I have reset my watch, I have lost the ability to use my apple watch.

Please help!

Thanks!

I’d recommend getting in touch with Apple support. We texted then escalated to a phone call and I ended up sending in my watch free of charge and it’s back in business now! It was incredible customer support!
