No you cannot downgrade,and you could ask the person you got the watch off what version of watchos it is.

A watch 2 will only update to WatchOS6 maximum.

If the phone says needs latest software it is talking about ios13 or higher.

They will only pair if the watch has WatchOS5 or lower.

An apple watch2 with watchos6 requires a phone with at least ios13 or higher,an iphone6 will only update to ios12.
