Hey there David85_,

It looks like you might be using an Apple Watch Series 3. If that's the case, you'll need to meet these requirements in order to pair with your current iPhone:

First, make sure that your Apple Watch works with the latest software. watchOS 9 is compatible with these Apple Watch models:

• Apple Watch Series 4 and later

• Apple Watch SE (1st generation) and later

Updating to watchOS 9 also requires one of these iPhone models:

If your Apple Watch isn't compatible with the latest version of watchOS, Software Update will show you the newest version that your watch can use.
