My watch app won't even load up the update???

I've been trying to update my watch for the longest time, and now with my phone being updated to the newest iOS, it seems that the watch app on my phone won't even load the update. It says I need an update, I open it up, and it just buffers and buffers and won't advance on. Anyone have help for this???

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

To Free-Up Storage

For songs, see:

Remove music from Apple Watch - Apple Support

and for pictures, see the "Limit photo storage on Apple Watch section in:

Choose a photo album and manage storage on Apple Watch - Apple Support

To delete apps on your watch, see:

Delete apps from your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Also, try unpairing and pairing your watch again and restoring from the backup just created in the unpairing process. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system. This should result in no loss of data and in some cases can free a lot of storage.
