Hello Lyneth1,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. There are two methods that's available to unpair the Apple Watch from the previously used iPhone. We recommend to try each of these methods and see if it's successful to have it unpair. Once that's done, you can then pair the Apple Watch to your new iPhone 15. Here are the steps we recommend for you to follow: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


We look forward to hearing back from you with an update.


Kind regards.
