hello, i have an Apple Watch Series 8 running watchos 11.6.1 and I just upgraded from my iPhone 14 to an iPhone 17 Pro. Is it possible to keep my Apple Watch on 11.6.1 and still pair it with the iPhone 17 Pro? Thank you in advance!!

You should just update your watch. Not only do watchOS updates bring new features, bug fixes, and improvements, but they also contain important security fixes. Since your Series 8 is compatible, you should just update to watchOS 26 as soon as possible. There's no reason to be on watchOS 11 anymore.

May I ask why you were planning to stick on your current software version?

If OP has a 17 Pro, then clearly there's no reason to be on watchOS 11 like at all.
