My Apple Watch series 3 has been updated to watch os 5.3.2.
How can I update it to watch os 6.0?
It is paired with an iPhone XS running latest ios 13.1.2.
According to this article [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204641] update should be visible in Watch app on an iPhone but it's not. Can anyone help?
Cheers!

If you see a watch face when you’re trying to pair: Your Apple Watch is already paired to an iPhone. You need to first erase all Apple Watch content and reset settings.
Unpair Apple Watch
next to the Apple Watch you want to unpair, then tap Unpair Apple Watch.Then pair it as new.
Make sure you are not running iOS Beta version on an iPhone 6s or later model
You need iOS 13.1.2 (non beta) on your iPhone.
Thanks!
It took a while but unfortunately after re-pairing the Watch problem still persists.
Watch app on iPhone still says:
"watchOS 5.3.2
Your software is up to date"
Is upgrade to 6.0 from 5.3.2 available at all? I read online that it was issued for devices that do not support watchOS 6.0 at the moment and for devices paired with iPhones older than 6s.
Did anyone successfully upgrade from 5.3.2 to 6.0? Maybe the problem is that Apple Watch upgraded to 5.3.2 instead of 6.0 in the first place. What do you think?
Exactly! So how come that my Watch Series 3 got this update instead of 6.x?
It is paired with an iPhone XS running iOS 13.1.2. So all requirements that you mentioned are met..
Any tips on what can I do?
Read here: Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Try un-pair then pair again.
Check your Watch model number, tell us what you see?
On iPhone > Watch app > General > About > Model > tap here and you get the number starting with A????
Yes, it says A1859.
watchOS 5.3.2 is for Watch Series 1 & Series 2.
And yes you need at least an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 13.x to update watchOS to 6.x
I suggest using the Contact Support link at the top of this webpage
This problem started, when Apple allowed older iPhones to upgrade the Series 4 to 5.3.2.
It seems they made it too inclusive.
