Can't update Apple Watch Series 6 (version 8.7) with iPhone 7 (15.7)
Will I no longer be able to keep my watch updated? The iPhone watch app says "update your phone" but the phone is updated the latest it will accept.
Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

To update to WatchOS9 you require a phone running ios16 which is an iphone8 or higher.

I'm not asking to get the latest compatible with my Watch, which I, apparently can no longer get because I don't have the latest phone, rather, my watch asks me to update, but will not be able to, even for security reasons, apparently, because it is demanding *another* product have updated hardware. This seems a bit...uncool.
Uncool or not, that’s the way it is.
Fine, let's revise my question: can someone point me to where I might complain that Apple requires me to update my phone in order to use my watch?
I recognize that will do no good at all, but feedback is still valuable.
Thanks,
Here’s the thing… If you were to update the watch to OS 9, it would NO LONGER be able to communicate with your iPhone 7 at all…
That is why you can’t update it using your iPhone 7.
