Iphone 7+ pairing to Apple Watch Series 8

My iphone is updated to IOS 15 and is not giving me the option to upgrade to IOS 16. The Apple Watch will not pair as it says I need IOS 16.


How can I upgrde to IOS 16 if it is not on my phone as an option?


iPhone 5s, iOS 12

The Series 8 requires an iPhone 8 or above with iOS 16. or above installed. You cannot use an iPhone 7. There is no way around that. You will have to upgrade. Hope that answers your question.
