I have an Iwatch 3 and an iPhone 6Plus. somehow they got unpaired and I'm trying re-pairing. When I try, it asks me to update the watch software. The phone says it can't update the watch software without updating phone software. The phone is up to date (12.55).
?????
I suggest you contact Apple Support here. Apple Watch 3 can run the current WatchOS 8.1.1. For that, you'd need an iPhone which can run iOS 15.1.1, but an iPhone 6, which is a nearly 8 year old iPhone is not capable of running anything higher than iOS 12.5.5. I don't honestly know if there is a simple solution for you. I suspect, you're going to need to consider getting a newer, more modern iPhone.

Thanks. But the watch worked well for a few years....so it won’t work unless we upgrade the watch software, which we can’t do because the phone is too old? Seems ridiculous, but we’ll get to a Genius Bar and see if there’s anything we can do.
Yes, you need Apple's help here. Sorry.
