New iPhone 15 - can't pair my Apple Watch 3 - eviltoast

tite says it all. I upgraded my iPhone 13 to a 15, and now my Apple Watch Series 3 won’t pair - the phone “can’t find it” any suggestions? Other than up grading the watch. Don’t need the new stuff on it

Thank you

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 15 and I currently have the series 3. What I had forgotten to do before erasing my old phone was unpairing it from my watch. So when I got my new phone and tried to pair it, it wouldn’t work. So I had to “reset” my watch and once it did I was able to pair it.

      Exactly what happened to me with my series 3, I forgot to unpair before trading in, but everything was fine after resetting the watch. Didn’t lose anything either because it let me restore the watch from a backup still
