Apple Watch is annoying.

Series 4 watch needs to update so I can pair it with my phone, an 11pro, but it keeps telling me my phone needs to be updated. Phone is completely up to date…I’ve checked 56 times. I uninstalled the watch app and then reinstalled..didn’t help anything. What’s the solution? Buy another watch? Buy a new phone? Run screaming from the building? At my wits end. I’ve tried this now over the last couple of months and it never works. Thanks Apple!
