How long does it take for update to apply, using Garmin Connect

I got my Decent MK1 back in December 2019. I'm just now trying to update the firmware using Garmin Connect. The progress bar took about 1.5 hour to reach the far right with just a small bit remaining (like, 98% done or so). But its been stuck there for the last couple of hours. How long should I expect this update to apply?

Thanks

Never mind...I just left it running overnight and it seemed to have completed successfully by the morning. In case it helps anybody, I would suggest making sure your mobile phone with Garmin Connect (iPhone for me) and Decent MK1 watch are both plugged into their chargers when doing this. Also, the lengthly operation was the sending of the update to the watch (it hung out on the last 5% progress bar forever). To apply the update, I had to separately go into the watch menu's "Software Update" level, noticed it said "Update Available", and then applied the update. Actually, I applied it twice--the first one was for the main firmware update, and the second one was a "GPS update" (not sure about the specifics on that). After applying the second update, the "Software Update" watch menu no longer indicates an update is available. So I guess i'm current.

BTW, here's the link to the list of updates...
