Cannot pair apple watch to iphone
I bought an apple watch from somebody and it cannot be paired to my iphone due to no connectivity to the internet for an update. However as you can see from the pict below i’m connected to my wifi+4bars. I have tried to turn on/off my phone and watch but it didn’t work. I have also tried to reset (by push & hold the digital crown)it but it keeps ending at the same loop, asking for an update but can’t update. I asked the previous owner if it’s still paired with their phone but they said no. I also tried reseting network settings (as advised by apple advisor through chat support).
my iphone is 14 pro, with an updated ios 16.5.1. The apple watch that i bought is a series 5, i have no idea how to check the watch ios cause it’s in a loop of demanding to pair with an iphone. However i’m guessing it’s not updated cause the previous owner haven’t used it in a while.
So to the apple community please give me your advice.
side note:the ios screenshot was taken recently, but it was updated a few days ago(? Can’t remember when), so please don’t get confused why the ios screenshot is earlier than the the root of my problem…
