I can’t update my apple watch series 1

Hi, I have a problem I have on my apple watch series 1 watchOS 4. I read that i am able to update it on watchOS 6, but when I am searching for new update, it tells me, that I have the latest update. Please help me. Do you have any advice, what to do?

You likely have an original Apple Watch model, not Apple Watch Series 1 (yes, it is a touch confusing). The original Apple Watch can only be updated to watchOS 4, whereas the Series 1 can be updated to watchOS 6. You can use the information on this page to identify your Apple Watch model: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204507


I should note that the latest version of watchOS is watchOS 8 which requires an Apple Watch Series 3 or later. Pairing an older Apple Watch model to your iPhone can lead to compatibility issues.


Hope this helps!
