Problem updating my Apple watch

I updated my old iPhone 6 to iOS 12.5.1, but when I try to update my Apple watch S2 it says I still need to update my iPhone. The reason I'm doing this is to pair my watch to my new iPhone 12 Pro. What should I try to fix this?

Your iphone 6 will only pair with a watch that has WatchOS5 or below.

Your apple watch 2 must have WatchOS6 and this requires a phone with ios 13 which is an iphone 6s or higher.
