Apple Watch worries!

I recently bought an iPhone 13 pro and after trying to connect my watch series 1 it won’t do anything. It says on my phone in needs an update but will not update. My watch won’t get past the first screen. Is there anything else i can try?

A series 1 watch cannot be upgraded past watchOS 6.3. With an iPhone 13 and iOS 15, you need watchOS 8. I am afraid you are stuck. See the 'Using an Apple Watch' section in:

How to update to iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 - Official Apple Support

All I can suggest is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it. Or use the online Apple Support if that is not possible. Either way:
