Hello kipp1965:
For what you're describing, the steps in this article may help: If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone
Specifically, you'll want to follow these steps in the "If the pairing process stalls" section:
If those steps don't do the trick, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support to look in to some additional options.

It's technically possible to pair a watch 1 or 2 to a newer phone,but in reality this is proving almost impossible for just about all the 1&2 owners on this forum.
Newer phone's require the watch to have updated hardware to cope with ios 14 or 15 and unfortunately because of the age of these watches the hardware is very limited to what it can do.
Then there is the subject of storage,these watches have very little storage space and the average software update now requires gigabytes of space rather than megabytes and again these watches are very limited with the amount of storage space they have.
It is recommended that even a watch 3 should be unpaired and repaired in order to free up enough space to update.
Apple Series 1 Watch will not pair
