Question:
I have an apple watch 4 which hasn't been used for over a year.
When I'm now trying to pair it, it requires the watchOS to be updated.
This is where it fails..
I've tried it on two different iPhones, both running iOS 14.2.
The watch app says "your software is up to date", but from there, I can only tap cancel which brings me to the screen that says it needs to be updated again.
See screenshots below.
There is also a screen recording on the Dropbox link.

Nov 8, 2020 1:33 AM in response to jimmieant In response to jimmieant Find a phone with ios12 on it if you can and pair your watch to it,it will ask you to update the watch
select yes,after it has updated unpair the watch from the ios12 phone and then pair it with your ios13 or 14 phone.Now you can update to a higher WatchOS. Alternatively contact apple store and see if they will update the watch through the watch's data/diagnostic port.

It makes sense even if it feels like a bug that newer iOS won't be able to update the watch OS. On my old
iPhone 6 with (latest possible) iOS 12.4.9, I tried -- Then I tried with a iPhone XR running IOS 13.7. It said the same thing as the iPhone 6. The only difference was that the message didn't disappear by itself and it gave me the option to update phone or cancel pairing.
