Series 2 watch won’t update to connect

My friend gifted me her Apple Watch series 2 but when I try to pair it with my iphone12 it won’t work. I get the message to update the watch, then that I need to update my phone. But my phone has the most recent update 14.6 already. How do I set up the watch if I can’t update it?

Your friend needs to unpair the watch from her phone so that you can use it;
