Apple watch
Hello! I'm currently using an Apple Watch 5s and considering getting an Apple Watch Series 7 or Series 8. I wonder if they will be compatible with my phone and if they will work fine.
iPhone 5s, iOS 12

Your Apple iPhone is only capable of updating to 12.5.7. Apple Watch 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later with the latest iOS version of 15.7.3. The Apple Watch 8 requires an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later.
So the answer is no. Neither watch will work with your iPhone 5s.
