Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 3 require an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later.
I too bought an Apple Watch series 3 and have an iPhone 6, same issues and have had to return the Watch to the store I purchased from and have been given a full refund. Nowhere does Apple state you need a certain iOS for the Watch to pair and my phone as factory reset has the Apple Watch app but it won’t work. I was deeply annoyed and upset as it seemed about the best smartwatch for me but couldn’t use it without upgrading my phone which I’m not willing to do.
It states the requirements on apples website;
A watch running 6.0 or newer can't be paired with an iPhone 5c. If you don't have a newer iPhone, check the store's refund policy.

Apple support told me a series 3 would work with a 5s but I have a 5c which it will not work with
