Apple Watch
Have you updated your iPhone to iOS 16 (the current version is 16.1)? If you haven't, update to iOS 16.1 and try again with your watch.
You should make an appointment at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store and let them check the Apple Watch.
Did you try to pair it, without using the personal hotspot on your phone, and being connected to a Wi-Fi network?
Yes, same issue. It shows can’t update or can’t pair. I even tried to pair it with other phone. I need to update before start using the watch but I can’t
I will try now
iOS 16.1 fixed update/pair issues with Series 3 watches for most users.
