Pairing Apple Watch 1 to IOS 14.1

Hi,


I’m trying to pair my Apple Watch 1/0 series to my iPhone 11 with IOS 14.1. Each time I try to pair it says I need to update my iPhone software, but it’s up to date. I can’t proceed without updating my phone, but it’s as updated as it comes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone?!

Find a phone with ios12 on it if you can and pair your watch to it,it will ask

you to update the watch select yes,after it has updated unpair the watch

from the ios12 phone and then pair it with your ios13 or ios14 phone.Now you can update to watchos6.

Alternatively contact apple store and see if they will update the watch

through the watch's data/diagnostic port.
