Hi apple watch peoples

the apple watch 1 is not connecting to the iPhone 6 after a factory reset of the watch.

the watch says that its software is already updated and will not pair unless it updates.

I have reset both the phone and the watch 2 times.

Help?

thanks

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 2.2.2, factory reset during update 2.2.2
