Out of date Apple Watch.
I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max and just got a series 5 watch. When I hold the watch Upto the camera it says “iPhone out of date, this Apple Watch requires a newer version of iOS”. But my iOS is currently 14.4 and Upto date??

Hello Coxy10k,
It sounds as though you're being prompted that an update is needed to complete pairing your Apple Watch. With the prompt that you're receiving it would be recommended to restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch. You can find the steps for restarting in the following article.
How to restart your Apple Watch
If you continue to have issues after those steps you'll want to verify that Set Automatically is enabled in Settings > General > Date & Time on the companion iPhone, and that the date, time, and time zone are shown correctly. If the date, time, and time zone are correct try setting up the Apple Watch again. When setting up the Apple Watch do so as a new device.
Let us know how that goes.
I’m having the exact same issue. I’ve tried everything mentioned above and on many other sites. Even spend over 45 minutes with customer support and no resolution so far. Someone please help. I’ve tried on a different iPhone 11 and still would not work. I tried on a a slightly older iPhone. Still won’t work!! Keep getting stuck on the update failed. And the message disappears in seconds to. Or even allow to hit button to update. See messages.
please someone help me trying to setup a watch series 5
I’m having the same issues. My series 3 will not pair with my girlfriends 11 pro max but will pair with my 7plus and my 11 pro max
Coxy 10k, did you have any success? I'm trying to set up my son's series 5 watch on an iPhone pro 11 & have the same issue. I've tried the suggestion below but still does the same thing.
iPhone 12 Pro l - same issue.
I don’t know if it has something to do with the summer time change. This Apple Watch was switched off before the change and now switched on.
iPhone up to date.
