I always thought your phone and watch had to run the same version and of course if you are on iOS 18, then your watch would be no longer compatible. Guess you can either just try it or call apple. But I would agree with others who described the watch as sluggish, I think even if it works you may not enjoy the experience.

I found this info on the Apple web site: Apple Watch Model, Series 2 Compatible iPhone, iPhone 5 or later Compatible iOS, iOS 10 or later* Compatible watchOS, watchOS 3 to watchOS 6.3 So, it could work, but the Watch OS will be limited to whatever was in the WatchOS6.3. So, it is worth a try. If you run into trouble, call Apple Accessibility, 877-204-3930 They are around 24/7.

Will I be able to pair this thing and get it to work either with an iPhone 8 running IOS 16.7 or with an iPhone S E 2020, running IOS 18.1? Thanks in advance.
