When trying to pair applewatch4 with new iPhone SE must update to applewatchos 9.6.3. Gets hung up on “checking for updates. Will pause and say connect to Wi-Fi. Did this in my home and at AT&T store. Left it on all night and next morning was still “checking for updates “. Unpaired watch from my iPhone SE and paired it with my old iPhone 6 with no problem.
iPad mini, iOS 12
