Apple Watch with iPhone X and MacBook Pro

I am currently using an iPhone X and a MacBook Pro. I received an Apple Watch Ultra 9 as a gift yesterday. Unfortunately, the Apple Watch Ultra 9 requires an iPhone Xs or later for compatibility.


Is there any solution to use the Apple Watch Ultra 9 with my existing devices or without any devices until I upgrade my iPhone?


Please help. Thank you!

Unfortunately no. The watch series 9 has allready watchOS 10 installed and for watchOS 10 you'll need iOS 17.
