My Apple Watch does not want to update.

My Apple Watch does not want to update. It is on the charger and on wifi. Not to mention the watch is right next to my phone. What is going on?

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.
