My iPhone8 has 116GB used of 256GB. I purchased an iPhone16 with 256GB. If I transfer all data from the iPhone8 to the new iPhone16 (116GB), will I be able to pair my new Apple Watch Series 10 with 64GB of storage to my new iPhone16 (116GB used)? null

Most certainly yes. A lot of the data that is on the watch comes from the phone itself. It is not unique data that was generated by the watch.

Yes. As long as the data from your former iPhone is within the limit of your new iPhone, you can transfer the data. In your case, 116GB < 256GB, so this is possible.
The Apple Watch 64GB of storage is separate from the iPhone storage. This is where you can download music or podcasts for listening from Apple Watch directly, for instance. Even if the 64GB were included in your iPhone storage instead, 116 + 64 = 180, and 180GB < 256GB.
