Unable to update my Apple Watch SE 2 to watchOS 10.5

It writes „Unable to verify update, because you are not connected to the internet“. I have IOS 18.4. Already made all Apple „support“ suggestion. Nothing helped. Hard reset, reconnect, pair with another Iphone, change of region and language, etc. Maybe there are some new suggestions…

Wondering if Apple Support's latest article can help:

Note: Watch OS 11 is the newest version for Watch SE 2 now:

Updating to watchOS 11 requires iPhone XS or later with iOS 18.
