Hello! I received an Apple Watch Series 3 today and have been trying to connected it. Every time I get it paired, it pops up saying the watch needs a software update to continue setting up. However, it then states “to update the software on your Apple Watch, you first need to update the software on your iPhone.” My iPhone is to the latest update!!! Help!

Try to start the update again.
Try the Update directly on your Apple Watch:

Thank you for your response! I have tried that and I cannot open the Apple Watch or the settings since I technically haven’t finished setting it up.
iOS 15.6 for your iPhone was released today, (July 20)
