My Apple Watch doesn’t pair with my iPhone

The Apple Watch series 5 said that any device with iOS 12.0 or above will work but it doesn’t work with my iPhone 6 which is iOS 12.4.4, it said my phone is out of date. Can you help me with this?

The current shipping Apple Watch Series 3 and 5 models require an iPhone 6s, SE, 7 or newer running iOS 13.  It will Not pair with the iPhone 6 or older.


Suggest your return your Apple Watch for a refund. Check with your retailer. If it was Apple then you have 14 days
