Hello,

Yes, iPhone 6s and Apple Watch Series 2 are compatible. Both devices are still supported with the latest versions of iOS and watchOS.

Hi


Apple no longer sells new Apple Watch Series 2 models.


If you already have an Apple Watch Series 2


Whilst Apple no longer sells new Apple Watch Series 2 models, you need not be concerned. There is nothing wrong with your Apple Watch and nothing that you need to be aware of. Apple now sells a newer model range, Series 3, instead.


Apple Watch Series 2 can still be updated to the latest software version, watchOS 4.x. The paired iPhone needs to be an iPhone 5s or newer model (which includes iPhone 6s), running the latest version of iOS 11.x.


If you have not yet done so, follow the instructions here to update your devices, updating your iPhone first (and starting by making a backup of your iPhone):



If you were planning to buy an Apple Watch Series 2


Whilst you may find new Series 2 models still available from some Apple Authorised Resellers and whilst Certified Refurbished models may be available to buy from the Apple Online Store in some countries, you may prefer to instead consider buying a Series 3 model.


Differences between Series 2 and Series 3 models include that Series 3 models have a faster processor and a more power-efficient Bluetooth / Wi-Fi chip.


Series 3 includes a choice of Series 3 (GPS), which does not have a built-in cellular capability and Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), which supports built-in cellular features, subject to having a compatible service plan from a supported carrier.
