Hi


If you experience issues at or before the "verifying" stage, then it may help to follow the steps in the following support article under the heading "If you need help updating":


Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


However: do not interrupt your iPhone or watch if the process has already reached "installing". Note that you may need to scroll up on your iPhone screen to see the current status.
