Pairing my Apple Watch with my upgraded iPhone.

I recently upgraded my iPhone to the 12Max. Just realized that my Apple Watch isn’t paired with the new iPhone. Is it possible that my watch is still paired with the iPhone I traded in? I haven’t bee able to pair them together.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 14
