I have a Apple Watch 6. So I erased my Apple Watch 4 with the plan of giving it to my 8 year old daughter.
Anytime to I try to add it to family sharing it tells me the watch needs to be updated first. But how can I update it when it’s just on the set up screen? She has no phone of her own so thought this would be ideal but I am stuck 🤷🏻♀️
I hope this makes sense.
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
If it will not update when pairing in family setup, I would try pairing it to your iPhone as a second watch first.
It should update that way. Then I would unpair it and remove it as a main watch.
Then add it through family set up.
Once a watch is updated to the current OS it can't go back down so you should be good.

Can’t add watch to family sharing.
