Pairing apple watch.

hi everyone!

I just found an apple watch series 3 and it just like new because no one used it for 3 year since my father bought it! I’m trying to pairing it with my iphone 12 promax and updated to the newest version which is 15.6 but it still stuck on the software update screen. I tried a lot of things to fix it: factories reset the watch, restart both of my devices, uninstall watch app and reinstall it again. And now it still stuck on the software update screen.

Can anyone help me please!!!

Thank you so much!

Can't update and pair apple watch... I have an apple watch 2 which hasn't been used for over 2 years. Now when I'm trying to pair it, it requires the watchOS to be updated. This is where it fails.. I've tried it on two different iPhones, one 6+ (with iOS 12.5.6) and one 12 pro max (with iOS 16). The watch app says "your software is up to date", but from there, I can only tap cancel which brings me to the screen that says it needs to be updated again. I've reseted it, restarted it and tried to erase it but unsuccessfully, it does apear like i've seen here in a similar situation but with an apple watch 4. Can I make it work again?

Apple Watch Series 3 Reset, updating when setting up and then boot loops My wife's watch series 3 was not pairing with her new phone. I reset the watch. Now when pairing the watch, it says the watch needs an update. My options are to "Download and install update," or "Cancel update and exit setup." When I start the update, it starts to download to the watch and then the watch appears to restart and displays the apply logo. I have left this running all night and the update doesn't finish. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have also tried the update on my phone with no success. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and my wife's phone is an iPhone 14 Pro.
