Apple watch

I was in the process doing the update on my apple watch when i inadvertently made it go back to factory settings. Now after i pair it it searches for other updates and states it cannot update due to device not connected to the internet. Therefore I cannot continue with the set up. My phone is connected to the internet. Help?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Apple Watch update unsuccessful When updating my watch, I was having trouble so I told it to “set back to factory settings.” Now I can’t do anything. My phone says it can’t update the watch because I am not connected to the Internet but I AM connected to the Internet. All articles say to go into “settings” on the watch app but I don’t have that option. The only options I have when I go to my Apple Watch app is to set up Apple Watch. When I do that, I am able to hold my watch up to pair. It pairs but then I get the “not connected to Internet” message. I can’t do anything on my Apple Watch because all I can get to is the original “bring iPhone near Apple Watch” screen. I have done a hard reset on both my phone and my watch. I am so frustrated. I have spent hours in a loop doing the same things. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch wont update or repair So my series 1 apple watch was reset to factory settings already. And removed from my icloud account. Now I'm trying to repair my watch to my iPhone 7 (up to date on software,) but I keep getting an error saying cannot update because my phone e isn't connected to wifi. Even though it is. I've tried reseting my router. Resetting my iPhone. And resetting and turning off the watch.

I tried about half of these and afraid of locking my self out of something on my phone. The one I have not tried is hard booting my phone. Turning I cloud off and turning the pass code off my watch because I can’t get to that point.
