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.
