May I downgrade from WatchOS9 ?

[HumbardiCo]

I upgraded my watch Nike edition series 4 to the WatchOS 9 using my wife’s Iphone 11 .
But , I am using my personal IPhone 7 Plus. Now, I can not pair my watch series 4 with OS9 to my IPhone 7 Plus running iOS 15.7 ( It can not be upgraded to the iOS 16…! ).
Any solution ?
Can the watch be downgraded from WatchOS9 to the previous version 8.7 ? So I can pair it to the IPhone 7 Plus …..
I thank you all if you can give me a solution to this problem without changing my Iphone…

There’s no way an end user can downgrade an Apple Watch‘s OS. You should contact Apple support to see if you can send it in to have them do it for you.

has anyone tried to restore their watch with the new restore function that came with iOS 15.4? does that not work either?
