Granted I'd been fritzing around trying to find out why it wasn't receiving calls (fixed apparently by turning off Cellular and back on again). 10 minutes or so after declaring victory for my efforts (which also involved me rebooting my phone and watch to no avail at the time) I glanced at the Watch and saw it was in a screen that looks like it was updating (circular ring of dashes, logo in the middle, first half dozen or so dashes were in bold).
Well it had been updated a week or so ago, and the Watch app a few minutes earlier had indeed confirmed it was already up to date.
I gave it ~20 minutes and nothing changed. So I rebooted and it went back to the same thing. Waited another ~20 or so minutes then decided it was a lost cause, so I tried to reset it.
Which then led to my phone not recognizing the pairing pattern, and manual pairing not working and, well, before I realized it the Watch app had switched over to my nighttime series 1 and....I ended up accidentally inpairing that as well thud leaving me with two currently unusable watches.
Top tip: never try to pair a watch if there's a second nearby in the same state...!
Long story now slightly shorter, eventually both came back from backups and, aside from needing to re-add several CC to the series 3 Watch, all's well.
Except...what the heck started this off? Never seen this before - the Watch had only just been rebooted a few minutes earlier and I was wearing it when all this started.
TL;DR: Recently rebooted series 3 lost its gord & ended up in a semi update status for no obvious reason.
