Pairing Apple Watch with 6 - Tells Me Needs Update

Hi,


I inherited an iPhone 6 and am trying to pair my Apple Watch with it. Whenever I try to pair, though, it tells me my phone's iOS isn't up to date and needs to be updated. But I can't get the latest iOS 13 on an iphone 6. So I can neither update nor pair, and neither device recognizes that it can't get the latest update.


Thanks for your help!!

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Watch OS 6 requires iOS 13 or newer. You will need an Apple Watch with watch OS 5 to use with your iPhone 6.
