Apple Watch Series 6 Update

My series 6 watch has an update to install. I have it fully charged and on the charger, but my iPhone is telling me the watch needs to be on the charger and charged to at least 50%. How do I get past this error message?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

Try using a different charger/wall outlet.
