OK, I opted to update to WatchOS 10.1.1. It's stuck Verifying, even though phone and watch are charging. Quitting the Watch app doesn't help.
Should I delete the Watch app and re-install it?
Thanks in advance.

Reboot watch and phone
 
Another way is to take the watch off of the charger, unlock with passcode, and put it back on the charger.

Next time, initiate the update for the watch itself vs the watch app on the phone, much faster process
That's interesting.

I just started and the Watch app on the phone was claiming 16 hours. After restarting both and initiating the update on the watch, it's claiming 2 hours.

You are basically skipping the download from the phone to the watch via Bluetooth.
Though even 2hrs is very long, which either means you have a slow internet connection or Apple servers are really busy, or, and I’ve seen this happening more than once before, it goes from 2hrs to 3min very fast ;)

It took quite a while, but it was still better than the 16 hours it mentioned at first.

Living nearer to Silicon Valley makes me think that things are more congested here on the internet than they are elsewhere.
