If you see not connected to internet

P.S. I have an old watch2 that I managed to pair with an ios12 phone,I couldn't get it to pair with anything higher.

I never said that,I said it was technically possible to pair a watch 2 to a newer phone.

I would visit an Apple store and see if they could help you as they have access to tools that only apple has.
