Can which watch can I pair with my iPhone 8

I saw this Apple Watch SE 2 being sold quite cheaply but I wanna confirm if I can pair it up with my old iPhone 8. I’m an android user so I have no idea if my iOS version is still usable

Which apple watch is compatible with iphone 8 (iOS16)? I am still using an iphone 8 because it is convenient and small and atill works pretty well for what i need it. I would like to buy an apple watch but had 2 unsuccessful attempts with iwatch 9 and SE - it seems that these are new generation devises that cannot pair with my old iphone 8 that cannot be upgraded to iOS 17. Which iwatch - an older one, i guess - can pair with my phone? i read here that iwatch SE is ok to use with iphone 8 and ordered it but could not pair because of the iOS issue. many thanks!

Can I pair an Apple Watch Series 9 with an iPhone X? So: I just bought a new Apple Watch 9. I went to pair it with my iPhone X, then it said it needed iOS 17. Ok, I’ll just upgrade… except iOS is not supported on iPhone X. FINE, I will pair with my iPad (recent, supports iOS 17). No, pairing is only supported on iPhone. I said some bad words. When, not if, will pairing be supported on iOS 16 on new Watches? This is not acceptable. No, I am not buying a new iPhone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Any, if the iPhone is running 16 or above. Before giving the seller your money, check that it isn't activation-locked.
