Update Apple Watch on iPhone 6

Now Apple has stopped updating the iPhone 6 I’m unable to update my Apple Watch Series 2. Is there anyway other way of updating the Apple Watch? Any help would be appreciated.

No.


And you don't want to do it through another iPhone on iOS 13 either as it will not pair back to the iPhone 6 after its updated.


If you need to keep using it with your iPhone 6, keep the watch on watchOS 5, or whatever version it currently has.


watchOS 6 will not work with an iPhone 6 at all. Do not update to watchOS 6 is you want to be able to continue to use the watch with an iPhone 6.
