Unfortunately it looks like the Apple Watch 3 requires an iPhone 6s or later with IOS13. The iPhone 6 Plus can only update to IOS 12.4.8 which you have so sadly it is unlikely that you can pair the watch with your phone. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 re IOS for iPhone models. https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/watch/apdde4d6f98e/watchos re iPhone vs Apple Watch pairing.
