Apple Watch SE: Cannot Update Software

My Watch app is saying that a software update is available, but when I try to update I get a message that I "first need to update the software on your iPhone." My phone is up to date (iOS 14.8.1). I've powered off both the phone and watch, but still get the message and can't update the Watch software. Help!

If you want to update your watch to watchOS 8.X, you will need iOS 15.X on your iPhone.

iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support
