My Apple watch 7 will not update even when close to my iphone 14 plus. They are paired.

I have a new Apple iphone 14 plus and a Apple watch 7. The watch has an update but it will not update. I keep getting a message to have the watch powered on and close to the phone. Nothing. It does not update. They are paired. I powered both off and then back on to see if would help. It didn't. Friends have said a update doesn't matter, leave it. Unfortunately, it bothers me. I read that my phone is too new compared to my watch so they won't work with each other. I would have appreciated being told this when I bought this phone, and I was not. II would have bought an older phone. And I will not buy a new watch, too expensive. So, now what. Forget the update?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

  • Leave your Apple Watch on its charger while it's updating. Don't restart your iPhone or Apple Watch, and don't close the Apple Watch app. When the update has completed, your Apple Watch will restart on its own.
