Greetings Olimag, 


We understand that you’re attempting to pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone, but are receiving a message that an update is needed and the device is not connected to the internet. 


If you’re seeing a message that states the update cannot be verified, here some steps to take: If you see 'Unable to Verify Update' when updating Apple Watch


Is your iPhone up to date with iOS 15.2 already? You can verify that in Settings > General > Software Update. 


Thanks.
