The Watch is an iPhone accessory. The iPhone should be up-to-date and completely setup before doing something with the Watch.

Setup the iPhone first.
M1 Mac mini, macOS 26.2; Watch, Series 10 GPS-only, watchOS 26.2; iPhone 16, iOS 26.2; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 26.2 HomePods, audioOS 26.2
I could have paired with the old phone first, to make sure it worked well, then after some time elapsed with no issues unresolved, I could have then replaced the phone. That seems a reasonable approach as well given I had bought a new phone and new watch.

that seems lame, to leave a question open and potentially hundreds of wel meaning users provide their answers to an issue that is already resolved.
Sometimes people come a long with additional questions. Threads are a resource for everyone, not just for the original poster.

I'm willing to give people another chance if they seem willing to learn. Much as I hated the neologism "Netiquette," I do miss the days when it meant something.
Thank You, is there a reason why you suggest to replace the iphone first?
Thank You. how do I remove my original question as I am good now I have my question answered.
You don’t. It remains in the forum as a reference for others.
