Sorry, you can't use your iPhone to charge your Apple Watch.

But, there are Wireless Chargers that can charge both devices:

Magsafe duo charger - apple watch charging takes a long time Hello! Recently I bought a magsafe duo charger both for my iPhone and Apple Watch Series 8 to be able to take both chargers anywhere I go. I use a classic 20W Apple adapter with the duo charger, but I noticed a big change in the time it takes for my Apple watch to recharge. Usually I put my apple watch in the morning when they are at around 20% and it took (with the original charging cable inside the box) like 30 minutes to charge to around 90%-100%. Now it takes much longer. Please note that I charge iPhone and Apple watch always separately - I never charge my iPhone and Apple watch at the same time on the magsafe duo. It's kind of a problem for me, because I sometimes forget to charge them when I am supposed to go out and have to either wait long time to get atleast a few percent, or just leave them home. That's not what I was expecting from a kind of expensive charger. Can I make it charge my Apple watch faster? I don't mind my iPhone being charged slowly - I charge it in the night. Will a different, more powerful brick make it go faster? And if so, do you have any experience with a specific brick?

You're welcome 🙂

Enjoy your new Apple Watch.

Thank you! I’ve been spoiled by Samsung with this and am just learning the whole Apple curve.

Awesome thank you!

I'm literally “going in blind” to all of this, but am liking everything so far except for the camera quality.

If the camera does not work as expected, and you made all the correct settings in the camera app, you should make Apple directly aware of that by using the Feedback link:

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Since the iPhone 15 is brand new, I'm sure they will address possible issues in a future iOS update for these models.
