Apple Watch Series 1 Won't Pair

Haven't used my series 1 watch in 2 years and can't get it to pair with my new iPhone 11. I have tried everything recommended online. Restarted both many times. Talked with Apple support and they said it was because it had not been updated. How in the world can you update it if you can't get it to pair?

Is it a Series 1? Or is it the original watch? If it's the original, you won't be able to pair it with an iPhone running iOS 13.
