Very briefly a dialog box appears when I choose to update software on watch. But it disappears so quickly I haven’t been able to even read it. I took a series of screenshots and finally got a shot of the warning. Thought it might help.

I had the same issue until I updated my iPhone to IOS 16. After the upgrade it worked perfectly.
