Series 3 Watch Stuck on "Signing in to your account" during update

I've restarted both watch and iPhone.

I'm setting up as new (not backup).

Updating the watch software cannot get past the "Signing in to your account. This may take a few minutes." message... it just spins and spins...

Nothing happens and it eventually times out.

I have tried this multiple times and with different iPhones, but no luck.

If I skip the update and just go to setup, things work fine.

So has Apple dropped support for this version of the model 3?
