Howdy Joshyvargo,


We see that you're attempting to pair an Apple Watch with an iPhone, but being prompted to update before the pairing process completes. You've come to the right place for assistance with this.


Which Apple Watch are you attempting to pair with your iPhone 6? 

Has the Apple Watch been paired with a device previously or is this the first time you're attempting to pair it?


We'd recommend checking through the steps listed in the following resource to see if this may help with pairing the Apple Watch as well:

We look forward to hearing back from you.


Cheers!
