watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hello,
I have an Apple Watch SE2, and when I check for updates on it or on the watch app, it says the watch is up to date with Watch OS 10.6.1. I know the SE2 is eligible for Watch OS 11, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to update. Has anyone else seen this happen? How did you force the update? This is rather frustrating.

Hello Justin,

I believe iOS 18 is required in order for you to install watchOS 11. Have you upgraded to iOS 18 on the phone paired with your apple watch?

Hey there,
My phone is on iOS 18.1.1. So I know that is not the problem.
