watch has red lightning bolt and time only

Today I received a notification that an update to watch had failed. Then watch went blank except for a red lightning bolt and the time. I have tried to reset watch but nothing worked. I then went to Iphone and unpaired the watch but it will not let me pair it again. How do I fix this

Your response did not help. The attempted update of the software caused my watch battery to drop to zero. once I figured that out, I was able to charge it and when charged it took me several attempts but finally was able to install the latest update. All ok now.
