is a series 1 Apple Watch able to update and pair to an iPhone 8 running iOS 14.7.1?

Keep finding conflicting answers: is a series 1 Apple Watch able to update and pair to an iPhone 8 running iOS 14.7.1?


have reset the watch repeatedly, but I am NOT going to risk resetting the iPhone. When I set up the watch (gifted from a friend) it ultimately says (on the phone during pairing) that the watchOS (3.3.2) is up to date. Clearly that is woefully old OS.


Is there a workaround or is the series 1 watch now just truly an ornament given iOS 14?


Thanks

It's possible with great difficulty;

If you see "Unable to install update" when trying to update Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 2
