Why can't I use my personal hotspot to update Apple Watch?

all of my limited awards and stickers have disappeared.


I’m trying to do an update on my Apple Watch also and it’s going to take over two days. It has to do an update connected to Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi in my building is very very bad. I always use my hotspot for Internet in my room. I have unlimited data and 5G with a great download speed


Why can’t I just use my hotspot?

Apple Watch Series 11, watchOS 26
