watchOS 8.8.1 Install

Attempting to install watchOS 8.8.1 but continue to receive the message that it can't verify because I'm not connected to the Internet, when I am. Watch is on charger and connected to WiFi.

Seems a hard reboot of both the iPhone and watch was the ticket to complete the verification process and move to installation. Back in business.
