Unable to pair watch after getting new phone.

I did not impair watch from my old phone and did get new wifi at home around the same time I got a new phone. I don’t think that this watch has ever been connected to new wifi. My watch cannot pair to my new iPhone because it needs an update. But every time I try to update, I get a message that says “cannot check for update because you are not connected to the internet” even though I AM connected to the internet through my iPhone. I wonder if this “not connected” refers to the watch alone. And if it does, how can I possibly connect it to wifi if it won’t pair with phone? help!

Since you did not unpair the watch before getting a new iPhone see this link and pay attention to the section "If you don't have your old iPhone." --> How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support
