Pairing new Apple Watch.

I am trying to pair my new Apple Watch with my iPhone. My phone is a 6 and has been updated to 12.4.8. When I try to pair it it says the phone is out of date, which it isn’t. Then it tells me the watch has to be updated which I can’t do until I pair them. Help.

You cannot pair an Watch running watchOS 6.x with an iPhone 6.

You need at least iPhone 6s running iOS 13 or later.
