Apple pairing failure

If I can’t update the software on my iPhone 6 Plus beyond iOS 12.5.1, does that mean I can no longer pair my Apple Watch with it and therefore not be able to use my watch?

Cannot pairing my Apple Watch with my iPhone I bought Apple Watch SE this morning (10/10/2022); my iPhone runs with the IOS 15.7. The pairing process cannot be finished, it said my phone and the watch wouldn't have the same software updated status. I don't know what to do now; what should I do?
