Hello C_la,


We would like to see how we can help you with your Apple Watch. Let's start by deleting the stuck update. On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Usage > Software Update - delete any update file, if one is shown. Then restart both devices and try pairing again. For more information about pairing issues visit: If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone - Apple Support


"Unpair Apple Watch from the paired iPhone 

If you have the paired iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch:

  1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab, then tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
  2. Tap the "i" button I button next to the watch that you want to unpair, then tap Unpair Apple Watch.
  3. Tap again to confirm, then wait for the watch to unpair.
  4. After Apple Watch unpairs, you can pair again."


Cheers!
