Update:


I was wrong about running iOS 10.3 on the iPhone - I was still running 10.2.1. Updating to 10.3 resolved the issue - the Activation successfully verified that the Watch needs to be updated to the WatchOS 3.1 and is doing so now. 🙂


I also hard-rebooted the watch prior to trying another Pairing (holding both the Digital Crown and Side Button). I don't know if this also helped.
