Have you tried restarting it?

I wondered about that. But it started last night and about 8 hours later this morning, it’s still doing it.

I brought up the watch app on the iPhone and checked for any system updates, and got this response

the only time I have seen my watch showing a row of dots around a circle like that was when a software update was in process.
