1st gen iPhone SE + watch (self.apple_enthusiast)

I bought a new Apple Watch for my wife. She has a 1st gen iPhone SE (she just loves it and doesn't want to upgrade). The watch won't work with her phone - obviously something I should have checked into before purchasing. Is there anything I can do? Like maybe swap the watch out for an earlier model?

I purchased a used iPhone SE 2 for my son from Amazon for $140. This phone had a brand new battery and the screen and back glass are flawless. I was very impressed.

However, if you love the iPhone SE 1, I think that the iPhone 13 mini would replace it well. You would keep the squared off aesthetic, but gain a lot of usable screen real estate. The latest iPhone SE phones are the same size as an iphone 6, and similar to the mini, but they have lower end features and the round aesthetic. The only deal breaker I see is that the SE phones have touch ID rather than Face ID. Not sure which she would prefer. (I would love to have both!)
