Apple destroyed my Apple watch 3

I have an SE first generation and i did the update to ios 15.7. Before i had 14.8 and my apple watch S3 was completely fine. Now i can't use my watch because it says to me to do an update to watchOS 8.7.1. When i'm trying the update the watch stucking on prepering. I tried everything without luck. Its a bug from ios 15 and now the watch its just garbage. You can't pair it, you can't use it at all. Please help. I want to downgrade my iphone to the previous version. And do not tell me that i can't downgrade, i don't care!!!

Hello,


Really, are you serious?? You are replying back that you won’t assist me because I’m angry with Apple?


If you read the post i was struggling for a lot off hours of my time (i don’t have time to waste with apple for no reason) to make that update so i can use again my watch. Then i read that a lot off people with Apple watch 3 had the same problem with ios 15 and apple support didn’t help anyone of them to keep using their watches.


And the funniest thing is that from all of my post you took only 1 word, the word that you want to.


Because at the end of the story you don't want to assist me or anybody else with the same issue. Or you can’t fix that problem with the ios 15.


or you want the people to throw away the apple watch 3 to buy a new one without any reason.

I was angry because i spend a lot of time trying to fix my watch (via doing the update) that suppose to do it in minutes.... I'm struggling for days.... DAYS with that issue. On the other hand i saw on the internet that too many people had that issue with ios 15 and what's Apple doing for that?? Anyway, lets take it from the beginning. What you suggest to help me and many more people to fix that issue?


My S3 isn't pairing now with the iphone and because i did reset to the watch, now its completely garbage. If i'll try to pair it from the beginning it says to make the update first and then to set the watch. So how can set it up if i can't make update and i don't have any other choice??
