My new S7 Apple watch will not pair to my 8S iphone. The message says that my phone doesn’t have the latest update but is 15.03 which is the latest. How do I pair these?

My new 7s watch will not pair to my iphone 8 plus because it says I don’t have the latest ios update but I do. It’s currently at 15.03 so what do I need to do?

Start by tapping the "I" button on your Watch"bottom right corner", which will bring up your device's name. Then on your iPhone, tap the device name that matches the one displayed on your Apple Watch. You'll see a six-digit code will appear, which you'll enter on your iPhone.

Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish pairing your watch.
