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

    The typical downvoters are out in force - prats

    iOS is backwards compatible with ALL released versions of WatchOS

    An iPhone 15 pro max running 17.2 can pair with a Series 0 running 1.1 upwards

    NONE of the Apple Watches so far have are unsupported in this way

    Stop giving out false information .

      Very confused by the downvoting, unless it is just against the tone. I do understand the original incorrect commenters though, They are probably confusing the reverse requirement, that the watch requires a certain level of iOS/phone. I know I’ve done that it the past (got the dependancy between watch and phone the wrong way round).

      watchOS 10 requires iPhone XS or later, with iOS 17 and one of the following Apple Watch models: Apple Watch Series 4 Apple Watch Series 5 Apple Watch SE Apple Watch Series 6 Apple Watch Series 7 Apple Watch Series 8 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Ultra Apple Watch Ultra 2
