Pairing a newish Apple Watch to an iPhone 6

I broke my old series 2 Apple Watch recently, and a friend has gifted me a somewhat newer watch (I’m not sure how much newer) that he no longer uses. However the most modern iOS I can run on my iPhone 6 (12.5.5) won’t allow the phone to pair with the newer Watch. The Watch app on my phone demands I install a newer iOS. Since that’s not possible, is there any work around until I eventually get a newer iPhone?

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5
