Your options are to either return the watches OR buy a newer, more modern iPhone. There are NO other options available. You must own an iPhone capable of running iOS 16 (current version is 16.3.1), which means iPhone 8 or newer. Until you do, the watches you purchased will NOT pair with such an old iPhone as your iPhone is.

Your phone is outdated. In order to use that watch with your phone you’ve gotta have a phone capable of operating on a newer software. Once a phone is old enough it won’t even be able to download some of the more update operating systems. It sucks butttt that’s the Consumer-Buyer-Seller cycle that we humans love to give into. It satisfies our justification for purchasing a $1000 phone. Lol. “Well this Old phone will no longer update and isn’t compatible with any of my updated app versions so I HAVE TO buy the new one!”…am I right? 😂
