Why won’t my iPhone 11 pair with my new Apple Watch?

I got a new Apple Watch today. It will not pair with my iPhone 11. I’m running iOS 14.8.1 and it’s saying I need to run a more current iOS. Is there a different software update that I can’t get?

The series 7 watch requires iOS 15 on your iPhone. See:
