My series 9 Apple Watch will not let me connect to my iPhone 15+ because it says my phone is not running iOS 18.0 or later when my phone is updated at 18.3.2 (according to my settings).

What version of watchOS are you using?
The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
