Apple Watch Series 8 not pairing with IPhone 11 having IOS 15.6.1?
Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a solution that does not involve installing the latest IOS (not possible at this time due to company restrictions)
iPhone 11

Hi ashoklink,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. In order to pair an Apple Watch Series 8 to your iPhone, you'll need iOS 16 or later. It says:
To set up and use a new Apple Watch, you need an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later.
Here's an article with that information: Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Kind regards.
