Apple 7 watch needs update

I just got my new Apple Watch 7 and when I go to pair it, my phone says watch needs a new version of the OS, or something. but I can’t get to any menus on the watch to update it. I literally just pulled it out of the box today brand new November 5, 2021 snd I can’t setup my watch. I’m also running the latest iPhone OS 14.8.1. Can anyone help?

The latest version is iOS 15.1 for your iPhone. That is the version the series 7 watch needs to pair to.
