I use to have a apple phone then i got a samsung but when i tried connecting the watch to my sister iPhone it said we needed the old phone but i traded my old phone away and i cant pair it on my sisters iphone because of that.

I was wondering how could i connect a apple watch without needed the old phone, My brother got this watch when he use to have a apple phone but he got a samsung and traded his old iPhone away for a new one that he gave to me, I tried connecting it from my iPhone but it said we needed the old phone which is something we don't have.

iPhone X, iOS 15
