Updating Apple Watch while Charging iPhone

I am just curious about whether it would cause any issues with the watchOS update if the iPhone is removed from the charger while updating Apple Watch. This is at the point when the iPhone is 'preparing the update,' and the Apple Watch is on its charger.

You don’t need the phone to be on its charger, just the watch. Just make sure your iPhone has enough charge so it doesn’t quit.
