I think the issue is that maybe watchOS 6 will require iOS 13, and iOS 13 may not work with iPhone 6. I will leave it up to you to cross check the System Requirements for each of those operating system releases.


But according to the Apple website for Apple Watch Series 3, it will start shipping with watchOS 6, so it may be a software issue.
