Why won’t my phone pair/setup with watch!?

Apple Watch series 3 and phone won’t pair with it to set up. Tells me either watch has update (can’t update since I reset it and not paired) or phone says make sure watch is on and unpaired with old phone. I don’t have old phone. Getting frustrated!

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15
