My Apple Watch Series 3 won't update past 4.3.2 while my iPhone X is up to date, the Watch says it's up-to-date.

I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 3, it's pretty good only it won't update however my sister's Series 3 does update to WatchOS 8 while mine is stuck at 4.3.2, when I go to General > Software update It says it's up-to-date. Is there something wrong with my watch?

Apple Watch, watchOS 4
