Trouble updating Apple Watch

When I try to update my Apple Watch it says to update my iPhone first, even though my iPhone is up to date. Does anyone else have this issue? How do I fix it? Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

WatchOS 10, released about a month ago, requires iOS 17, also released about a month ago.


The problem is the iPhone X is too old to use iOS 17.
