Hey corbin125,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. The Apple Watch SE 2022 uses watchOS 9, and any iPhone used with it need to be able to run iOS 16 or later. The iPhone SE 1st gen does not support iOS 16. So the answer to your question is no. Get more info on the Apple Watch here:

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.


Cheers!
