Why is it taking over 12 hours to update my watch?

I’ve been trying to update my Apple Watch series 3 since 7:00 last night and it’s almost 9:00 am now. It’s just stuck on “preparing” for hours. Do I need to do anything?

Nope, depending on your Internet speed the wait time will differ.

If you have a weak internet connection it’s normal for it to take a while.
