Series 4 Watch with iphone SE Pairs then Unpairs

I have a series 4 watch, and an iphone SE running 16.1.1. I have reset both the phone and the watch. It constantly pairs, then unpairs even if I set up manually, as a new watch, or try to restore from backup. What the heck is the problem? From what I have researched this format should work. Why will this not pair???

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

For early watches you must have ios16.4.1 or later.

Update it to the latest which is 16.5.2 at time of writing I believe
