r/galaxynote10

I recently bought the galaxy watch 9 without researching about phone compatability. I was wondering if there's a way for my note 10+ to connect to the galaxy watch? When i looked it up on google it says it can connect android 11 above, my note 10 has android 12. But further research tells me that it needs atleast android 13. Is the only option i can do is buy a new phone?
