Update Apple Watch

my Apple Watch series 2 needs an update and without it, I cannot pair it to my phone. How do I update the watch, if the screen won’t go past “bring iPhone close to Apple Watch”

Try manually pairing;

Start by tapping the "I" button on your Watch"bottom right corner", which will bring up your device's name. Then on your iPhone, tap the device name that matches the one displayed on your Apple Watch. You'll see a six-digit code will appear, which you'll enter on your iPhone.
