Apple Watch set up error

I have a iPhone 6 and I received a new Apple Watch, as I’m trying to pair I it says that maybe iPhone is out of date and to update, I updated it and now it says it’s up to date; however after resetting it and checking the internet It still says that same thing. Please advise (iOS 12.4.6)

iPhone 6, 12
