Hi

A compatible model of iPhone is required in order to pair and set up Apple Watch:

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires an iPhone 6 or newer with the latest version of iOS 11.x.
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) and all other Apple Watch models require an iPhone 5s or newer with the latest version of iOS 11.x.

If it's running watch os 4, it requires an iPhone running iOS 11. You can't use it with an iPhone 5. The 5 can not run iOS 11.

Congrats on the new watch. You're going to LOVE it, when you get your new phone as the one you have won't work with Apple Watch running v4 software. You need a 5s or higher.
