I have an iPhone 6 and undated to IOS 12.4.4 but my apple watch series 3 will not connect. My phone says it needs to update first. What should I do?

Why won't my iPhone 6 connect to my apple watch series 3 when my iPhone is updated to the latest IOS?


iPhone 6, iOS 12

If your watch has watchos6 then your iphone 6 won't pair with it because watchos6 needs an iphone with ios13 or higher and that is an iphone 6s or higher,your iphone 6 will only update to ios12.
