None of the options to update my Apple Watch series 3 work what to do?

I cannot update my Apple Watch series 3, I’ve tried unpairing, deleting everything off the watch besides what I need, and restarting it. Any tips?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

FWIW, a lot of people are having problems updating a series 3 due to lack of sufficient memory. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times unpairing/pairing the series 3 watch for the update to finally work. For possible solutions, see the reply to:
