I was given an Apple Watch Series 1 (I know, I know it’s elderly now). When trying to pair it with my iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 15.4, it just continuously tells me I’m not connected to the internet to check for the required update… is it just completely incompatible now?
Apple Watch
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 ios15 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.
Is Apple Watch Series 1 completely useless now?
