watch 8 and iphone x

Is anyone else having issues with syncing their Apple watch 8 with their iPhone X? On the Apple site it says it should work, but when I try to sync them, I get a notification that I need at least a iPhone XS.

iPhone X

It isn't possible to pair an unit on watchOS 10 or above with an iPhone incapable of 17.
