Apple Watch Update

My phone is currently being fixed and I want to update my watch but it keeps saying 'Unable to Check for Update"


So my question is, can an Apple Watch update without any access to iPhone at all?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

No because the update is downloaded to the phone and then sent by bluetooth to the watch.
