It looks like you'd need to update your watch.
My statement is based on this:
- watchOS 9 requires iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later and one of the following Apple Watch models:
Not all features are available on all devices or in all regions or languages.
Which I got from here:
But... I'm not sure how recent of a watchOS update a Series 2 is capable of. Maybe a Series 2 can't be updated to wOS 9. If that's true, then there might still be a chance!

Theoretically fully updated series 2 (OS 6.3) will pair with any iphone. Ensure the iphone 14 is on iOS 16.2
However pairing series 3 is 50:50 chance with a following wind, series 2 is even more difficult, simply down to the low RAM that these 6 year old designs have.
Good luck, you'll need it.
Or get a new watch - even an SE2022 is a quantum leap over the series 2
Nice to see you back fieryjack! You had us worried.
