Watch Would not finish the new update
I’m trying to update my watch so I can pair it with my new phone. I waited 3 hours for it to download then not work. I have no idea what to do to get my watch to work again.
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

FWIW, a lot of people have problems updating a series 3 watch due to insufficient memory. in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, and then updating and restoring the backup will allow you to update it.
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Another option (maybe even better, if possible) is to take to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them update it.
