Apple Watch update

Hi, I have an iPhone 11 and I got the Apple watch three series. When I powered it on for the first time it made me update. However, it says it will take 10 hours. The yellow bar is not progressing at all and it’s been several hours. I tried powering off both devices and restarting but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Can someone please advise?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Apple Watch Update Hi! I recently got an apple watch from my friend that he was using. Very exciting and all untill I tried to pair it with my iPhone. When I pair it it says it's in need of an update and when I press "Update" It says "Could Not Install Update" It does not give me a reason and I pressed "Try Again" a hundred times. The other option it gives it to start over. I tried that a couple of times too. I just can't get it to work. I reinstalled the watch app. Tried powering on and off. Resetted Network Settings. Can someone please help?
