iPhone X- Iwatch 9 series Connectivity Issue

Bought Iwatch 9 series recently, I have IPhone X model. Unfortunately while pairing I see only iOS 17 greater software can be paired. May I get the software update of iOS 17 for iPhone X or any other way to connect

iPhone X, iOS 16

iOS 17 requires at least an iPhone Xr or Xs.

Unfortunately there is no other workaround. Either get a newer iPhone or try to return and get a refund for your watch. If you bought it directly from Apple, you have 14 calander days:
