Did you buy the Series 2 used, or did you use it on another iPhone before trying to pair it with your iPhone 6.


If you purchased it used, then it is possible the previous own upgraded it to watchOS 6.


If you used it on an iPhone 6s, SE, 7 or newer, and upgraded it to watchOS 6 when you upgraded your newer iPhone to iOS 13, that would explain it.


If you purchased it used, you might try to return it for a refund.

If your watch is on watchos6 then it won't pair with an iphone 6,you need a phone with ios13 or higher which is an iphone 6s or higher,an iphone 6 can only update to ios12.
