My apple watch is at version 5.3.4 and my iphone 6 has all updates current. I tried upgrading just the watch but it will not upgrade. How can I update the watch without updating also the iphone at the same time?

You can't from an iPhone 6; if you pair it to a newer iPhone and then update it, you won't be able to pair it with the iPhone 6 afterwards.
