You have 14 days to return the Apple Watch for a full refund. You should do this immediately.


If you get a newer iPhone, you can always buy the Apple Watch again.


The new Series 3 & 5 Apple Watches run watchOS 6 which Requires iOS 13, and iOS 13 will only run on an iPhone 6s, SE, 7, 8, X, XS, XR, 11 or 11 Pro.


The least expensive option is to get a used iPhone.


But no matter what you decide, first return the Apple Watch, that way you will not be rushed into getting a new iPhone.
