Hi Mroyb,



The following steps address updating your Apple Watch directly from the Settings. This might be your best chance to get it updated without it restarting.


"Update directly on your Apple Watch

If your Apple Watch has watchOS 6 or later, you can install updates without your iPhone:

  1. Make sure your watch is connected to Wi-Fi.
  2. On your watch, open the Settings app.
  3. Tap General > Software Update.
  4. Tap Install if a software update is available, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Leave your Apple Watch on its charger while it's updating, and don't restart your Apple Watch. When the update has completed, your Apple Watch will restart on its own."


You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: Update your Apple Watch – Apple Support


If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.


If you still have questions, reach out to Apple Support directly, as this may require closer guidance: Get Support


Cheers!
