Watch update on series 3

I have an iPhone 12 and a watch series 3 and I’ve been trying to set it up on my phone but when I update it, it won’t go past the prepareing stage. What to do?

FWIW a lot of people have had trouble updating a series 3 watch. With the limited memory in a series 3 watch, your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:
