I just got a new iPhone 13 pro and I had a series 3 watch and it gets stuck during the update.. I have included a screen shot where it gets stuck.. I have completely reset both phone and watch multiple times and same thing everytime..

FWIW a lot of people have had trouble updating a series 3 watch. With the limited memory in a series 3 watch, your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:

The apple watch 3 GPS only has only 8GB of internal storage, most of that is taken
up by the operating system and other critical software with not much space left for the
update.So installing or even pairing to an ios15 phone is proving nearly
impossible for just about all the watch 3 users on this forum.
same applies to Apple watch 1 and 2 they are almost impossible to either pair or
update with an ios 14 or ios15 phone.
Your best course of action is to call in at an apple store and ask them to pair/update it for you.
