I have an iPhone 6 (s/w rev 12.5 - which I believe is the latest the iPhone will load) and an Apple Watch 2 (s/w 6.2.9).
When I try and pair the two, the iPhone indicates it requires a software update - but it won't load anything higher than rev 12.5
I'm not in the position to upgrade the phone nor the watch - please advise how I could revert back to an earlier Watch s/w version that is compatible?
Kind regards

Sadly Apple Watches automatically update to the latest revision and while the iPhone6 has stagnated on software revision 12.5.x the older Apple Watch 2 has continued upgrading to revision 7 now.
I have been informed that there is NO way to revert back to an earlier revision on the Apple Watch, which means I'm stuck with two functional Apple products that won't pair :-(
Saw Apple made $110billion in the 4th quarter last year. Good on you Apple - forcing people to upgrade to keep up. Sadly I'm not in a position to upgrade!!!

What is the watch OS and iOS on the respective device. .
You should have watchOS 5 and iOS 12, then there wouldn't be any problem in pairing your devices.
To use your Apple Watch Series 1 or later with watchOS 5, you need to pair it with an iPhone 5s or later with iOS 12 or later—Apple Watch models with cellular require an iPhone 6 or later. Setup assistants on your iPhone and Apple Watch work together to help you pair and set up your Apple Watch.
Thank you, but this does not address my problem as detailed.
My issue is with pairing an Apple Watch Series 2 with and iPhone 6.

Watch OS 6.2.9 and iPhone 12.5 - as per the original post.
