Can’t install update WatchOS 8.4.1

Watch gives me this:

Installation Paused

To install the update,

Apple Watch must be

connected to its charger and

charged at least 50%


it’s been on the charger since last night and is at full charge with my phone right beside it. IOS is up to date on

my phone. Please help me.

Thanks for noticing my question. I did read all of that before I posted the question. I could not find a reference to “paused”. My phone had been on its charger all night and most of today. I’m patient enough. Finally, I called a friend to ask how to turn off the Watch completely. This worked.
