Yes, you can pair your Apple Watch Series 9 with your iPhone SE (2022 model).


You’ll have to run at least iOS 17 for it to work. The phone is capable of running the latest iOS 18 as well.


you can find out by doing the following:

A. Open Settings

B. Tap on “General”

C. Tap on “Software Update”


It will suggest to update to the latest iOS in case you are not on it.
