Applewatch series 8 is failing to download the latest watchOS 9.3.1

I tried many times from my iPhone but I received the following message: ”Software Update Failed

An error occurred downloading the latest version of watchOS on your

Apple Watch.”

and I tried on the AppleWatch itself! Nothing, although I have a good internet connection 4G by the way!

what can I do ??

Try doing a restart of both your phone and your watch. Also, make sure that your watch is on the charger and charged over 50% when trying to start the update.
