From:

Apple Watch Series 1 - Technical Specifications

"Apple Watch Series 1 requires an iPhone 5s or later with iOS 11 or later."

and:

Apple Watch Series 2 - Technical Specifications

"Requires iPhone 5 or later."


One caveat: If the watch has already been updated to watchOS 6 or later, it probably will not pair with an iPhone 5/5C. You cannot downgrade the watchOS version once it has been updated.
