Factory Reset Watch unable to update Software

My watch factory reset so it’s not paired with my phone and when trying to update the software it’s stuck on preparing for hours and hours without loading at all. I have no idea what to do.

My watch isn’t connected to any phone so I can manually input to upgrade software through there. I have to pair it in order to upgrade but on my phone app it’s stuck on “preparing” for hours without loading at all. My watch has been sitting on the charger this whole time and still nothing. Not sure what other options I can do to upgrade the software.
