If you really have watchOS 4 installed right now, like it says here, then you will need to match it with an old iPhone as well, with iOS12 installed. Hopefully you can find an old iPhone like that still in your belongings , or one of your friends or loved ones can help you with that.


So then if that pairing is successful and you can update your Apple Watch to version 7.5, you can then re-pair the watch with your iPhone again.
