Apple Watch SE won’t pair with iPhone 8

I have a new iPhone 8 and a new Apple Watch SE they won’t pair even though the phone has a iso over 16 which it says I need is there any way around it?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Which generation SE? The latest model isn't available until Friday. And it will not work with an iPhone 8.


Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Series 9, and Apple Watch SE require an iPhone Xs or later with iOS 17 or later. Apple Watch is only compatible with iPhone.
