Is Apple iWatch model A1553 compatible with iPhone running iOS 14?

My watch, model A1553 will not connect to my phone since I upgraded to iOS 14.

Should it connect?

Is there a limitation for that model?

Is there a compatibility matrix anywhere?

A 1st generation watch will pair to ios14 with great difficulty,the watch will only update to WatchOS4,the latest is WatchOS7,you will need a phone with ios12 on it,then you will have to jump through quite a few hoops.
