I have an unlimited 5G plan with 400 Mbit/s on my phone and have to use an external source to update my watch?

I don’t remember if this worked but: disable Bluetooth, turn on hotspot on the phone and connect the watch to the hotspot, update from the watch.

Not sure if it’s an option like the phone but check to turn off low data mode for the hotspot on the watch
