I am having the exact same problem. Same phone as you, same iOS version. I think 17.6.1 broke something in the watch updater. Anybody else having the issue?
Same issue here.

Anyone having update challenges today? Both my Apple Watches are throwing an error. They are connected to the Internet just fine. iPhone 15 PM is on 17.6.1 (re-release)... both watches currently on 10.6.
I'm having that same problem. I restarted both my phone and my watch. Still doesn't work.

Don't think it's 17.6.1. I tried shutting off my phone and checking for updates directly on the watch and it was still throwing the same error.
