Apple Watch stuck on recovery mode after iOS 8 update

So I've been getting notifications to update my watch's iOS which I did last night thinking that it would be fine. But I woke up this morning to my watch asking to be brought near to my phone only to find another pop up that said that there's something wrong with my watch and it needs to be recovered. Did all of those steps and now I'm just stuck in a loop of recovery mode on my watch. My iPhone's iOS is 15.6.1 so it should be okay, I tried forced-resetting the watch and it still takes me back to the recovery mode. Is there anything I can do before I bring it to Apple and/or(god forbid) get a new one?
