Can’t update Apple Watch I have an iPhone 8 ( 16.7.1) and series 8 watch ( 9.6.3). The phone has the latest update. However when I go to update the watch it says I need to update my iPhone first. I have powered off and restarted both devices several times. Both on the same wifi. Bluetooth on. Both fully charged on chargers. I have unpaired and paired the watch. Still will not update. Any solutions out there? perhaps my phone is to old???
