Hi!
I stayed a long time without using my apple watch. Decided to get back to it with my new iPhone 15 pro max. I restarted the watch and I'm trying to pair now. The iPhone finds the watch and then informs there is a new update version for the software's watch . It seems it is happening something, but it just doesn't finish , it just go back to the process of pairing.... I'm in a loop...

Why won't my Apple Watch Series 3 pair with my iPhone 15?
