Pairing Apple Watch Series 2 with iPhone 13 Pro fails at WatchOS update stage

I'm trying to pair my old AW2 to my new iP13Pro. It pairs and then searches for latest WatchOS update. Then it says I have to update IOS first. But I have the latest IOS (15.0.1). Tried multiple times; no luck. Just unpair, reset watch etc. Any suggestions? Many thanks if you do!

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 4
