Series 3 is difficult to pair with iOS16 because of relatively low storage but…


- Ensure the iphone is on iOS16.3 or later


- Erase the Watch completely. Put your watch on its charger and keep it there until you complete these steps. (select the watch OS version) Erase Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK) 


- When pairing do not try to restore the backup, pair as a New Watch
