unpaired outdated watch needs pairing and updating

I unpaired my watch from my old phone to pair it to my new phone. I didn't know I needed to update my watch before I unpaired it. Now I can't pair it to my new phone. How do I get it updated when it isn't paired to a phone?

Which Apple Watch, and which iPhone?


(Series 3 tends to be very short on available storage, too.)


If your iPhone is not running iOS 15.5, update it.
