Hello merritt1,


Based on your post, your Apple Watch Series 6 is stuck in an update loop. In this case, we'd recommend taking these steps for a solution:


  1. Restart both devices:
    1. Restart your iPhone
    2. Restart Apple Watch
  2. Make sure the paired iPhone is up to date for the latest fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad
  3. Then confirm if the Apple Watch is updated, as well: Update your Apple Watch


If needed, try to unpair and erase the Apple Watch: Unpair and erase Apple Watch

In case you have any troubles along the way: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone

Then test it out by pairing it again: Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone


Should you need additional help to solve this, it may be best to contact Apple Support directly: Get Support


They'll take it from here.


Cheers!
