my wife has my old iPhone X. For Christmas she wanted an Apple Watch. I knew it wouldn't pair if it had the latest watch os.

So, I got her a new old stock Apple Watch 6. Trying to pair it and it wants to update. It gives me no option to continue pairing without updating the Watch.

Is there any way to pair without updating? If it updates will it update to the latest watch os 11, thereby making it impossible to pair to the iPhone X?

thanks.
