I am unable to pair my Apple Watch with my iPhone

I have just got a series 4 apple watch - i'm trying to pair this to my Apple Iphone 12. When I go to pair it says that my i phone is out of date and the watch needs the latest ios. I have checked my settings and i have the latest IOS update. I've reset both my phone and watch and also reset the network settings and i'm still unable to pair.

Check Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone and re-verify you have iOS 17.5.1.

Are you on iOS 17.5.1? For a watch with watchOS 10 to pair you’ll need to be on iOS 17
