Unable to pair my Apple Watch with my iPhone

I just received my Apple Watch Series 9 45 mm. I can’t set it up with my iPhone X because it needs a later iOS on my iPhone. I have the latest iOS for this phone: iOS 16.7.4.

Is there any other way to set up this watch?

Hello ariefrommount barker, I believe the Oldest iPhone that can be paired with the Series 9 is an iPhone Xs.
