The network connection message is something of a distraction, because it is unlikely there is a software update available for your Apple Watch Series 3. Apple Watch Series 3 is now about 6 years old, and only supports up to WatchOS v8. The latest versions (WatchOS 9) require Apple Watch Series 4 or later.
