I have an iphone 7 running iOS 15.5 and i am trying to pair an apple watch series 2 but when I try pair it, it tells me the watch needs to update and i cant update the watch, it keeps telling me unable to "check for update"
Apple Watch
You can try various things to try and pair the watch,the error you're getting about not being connected to the internet is a classic symptom of the list of errors you might get,this page has helped some people in the past;
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.
ok thanks, casue the watch used to be my wifes and she has an iPhone 6 and we have unpaired it from her icloud and everything and when I try pair it it needs updating on the watch and when I try say update it tells me its unable to update i must connect to the internet
So what you saying is that the watch is useless to me now.
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.
would i have to downgrade my iOS on my phone to maybe pair it then upgrade my iOS again.
You can't downgrade ios software.
series 2 watch not updating
