How IPHONE SE match apple watch series 2? the icon showed on the phone, but the phone could not setup anything, only showed message watchOS3.1, how fix it?

Bought IPNONE SE just to match apple watch series 2, which is gift. And confirmed with staff when purchased the phone, she checked and said, Yes, it is matched. However, the screen is on Software Update: "watchOS3.1. Your Apple Watch is up to date with all the latest bug fixed and security enhancements.

After that, it did nothing, can't set up the watch, did nothing.

Have followed every step your suggestion but still not working.

Any one can help? otherwise, it is real rubbish, and useless. Both phone and 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.
