Watch SE, iPhone 7, iOS 15 Apple Watch SE (1st generation) can be paired with iPhone 7 Plus according to Apple, but what happens exactly if it asks to update Watch OS to 9, which would bar it from setup since iPhone 7 is limited to iOS 15.8 and Watch OS 9 requires iOS 16 or later? Does Apple in this case allow the watch to NOT update its OS? Once the watch updates its OS, there is no turning back? And for that matter, with the defects and stories about iOS 15 update on older iPhones, it may not be worth updating to iOS 15 in order to activate the watch. Are there known issues still, with 15.8 now? Finally, is there any way whatsoever to run the watch just to tell time in the meantime, to avoid updating to iOS 15? Please don't respond unless very specific to exactly the issue and precise questions here.

You can't downgrade watch software,your only options are a new phone or sell the watch.
