I am unable to download and install watchos 6

I am unable to download and install WatchOS 6. I have an Apple Watch Series 1, an iPhone XR with iOS 13.1.2. I seem to fulfil every criterion of installing WatchOS 6.


However, whenever I try to do so (from Watch app on my iPhone since current WatchOS version is 5.3.2), it shows me the message that my software is up-to-date, which for a fact I know it isn't.


Can anyone please help me with this. Thanks in advance.


Please find screenshots from Watch app and Settings app on iPhone below.

It is not out for the Series 1 or 2 as of yet.



See (go to the bottom of the page)

  • Apple Watch Series 1
  • Apple Watch Series 2
  • Apple Watch Series 3
  • Apple Watch Series 4

Not all features are available on all devices. **

Hi Randy,


I see the specification says-->


watchOS 6 requires iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later, and one of the following Apple Watch models:

  • Apple Watch Series 1
  • Apple Watch Series 2


But, it also says: ''watchOS 6 will be available for Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch Series 2 later this fall."


To me that's confusing. Anyway, if it's true that it's not supporting WatchOS 6 yet, I can wait. But we expect clearer specifications from Apple.


Thanks
