Short answer- no.


It depends if the prior owner has or hasn’t updated to watchOS 6. If it still has watchOS 5, you can pair. Check with the owner to know for sure what version of watchOS it has installed and be sure they follow the steps outlined here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208855

If you get the Series 4 new in an unopened box, then it will have watchOS 5 and it will pair with the iPhone 6.


If it is a used Apple Watch, then it depends on whether the previous owner upgraded it to watchOS 6, which would not pair with an iPhone 6.


Also if used, that the previous owner followed the following instructions
