I have an iPhone 6 and just bought an Apple Watch series 3 for it, since everything online had been saying my phone could pair to it. Then I get the watch only to find out that the watch can get updated to watchOS 6 and if it does my phone can’t pair to it. The watch I got came with the update already installed, so now I can’t connect to it. Is there anyway to downgrade the watch to watchOS 5?

No, sorry. Apple devices cannot be downgraded. You either need to buy a newer iPhone model or return the watch.
watchOS 6 requires iOS 13 which cannot be supported by the iPhone 6, the phone is simply too old.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, it says: Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 3 require an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later.

Can you get the Apple Watch series 3 to lose watchOS 6?
