Series 3 Watch with iPhone 6 12.4.4?

Anybody found a way to setup and/or use an Apple Watch3 with an iPhone 6 12.4.4? Is the watch totally useless? Thanks

If this is a new Series 3 watch, it is probably running watchOS 6. If that is the case, it will not pair with the iPhone 6. It requires the iPhone 6s or higher running iOS 13 or higher. If this is a new purchase, since Nov 15 - December 25, and you purchased from Apple, the return policy data is January 8. If it was purchased outside of those dates, then the standard 14 day policy is in effect.
