I have an iPhone X which is still in a very good working condition, but it cannot be updated to iOS17. This means I cannot update my Apple Watch Series 4 to watchOS10. Is there any way to update my Apple Watch, as I only plan to upgrade my iPhone next year? Surely you cannot force me to purchase a new phone when my Apple Watch is still supported?
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 9
No; if you use a newer iPhone to update it, you won't be able to pair it with the iPhone X afterwards.

If Apple continues with their current update policies, no.

I think my real question is, will there be an update to iOS16 that allows me to update my Apple Watch to watchOS10? Surely, just because one device is no longer supported should not stop updates for another?
that would be insane, am sure apple will fix this bug ? if you currently have paired account it would be no problem for apple to link them.
Update to watchOS10
