Why won't my Apple Watch install the latest update?

I believe that someone may have used bootrom exploit software to mess with my iPhone. Now I can’t install the latest software to use with my Apple watch

Apple Watch 7, OS9.6.3, iPhone 8 iOS 16.7.2: I CAN NO LONGER UPDATE MY APPLE WATCH!!! Please help. Thank you. So, my iPhone 8 says update your iPhone OS before updating your watch, then it tells me it's iOS is up[ to date. I then attempt to update the watch OS on the watch, which always says, "Unable to Check for Update and error occurred while checking for an update", and no amount of retrying gets me joy. Any help will be most appreciated. I followed the Apple Community response that said I needed to unpair my watch, and start over... 2+years of using my watch down the drain after an hour of repairing and starting afresh... and still the same da**ed error messages when I attempt too update the watch OS.

Restore your device to Factory Settings using a computer. You will not be able to restore from a backup and will need to set it up as a new device after entering your Apple ID.
