iPhone not unlocking apple watch

My iPhone 12 updated to 16.1.2 and my Apple Watch 5 is running 9.2. Somehow in the updates, my phone no longer unlocks my watch. The “unlock with iPhone” is greyed out on the watch settings. How do I fix this?

The matching iOS to OS9.2 is iOS16.2. You could start by updating the iPhone.
