Got them paired but my Watch is not registering any movement, steps etc. Everything is just zero
does it read your heart rate? open the heart rate app on the watch ...
what OS versions? watch and phone
Don't think it's reading heart rate. Seems there's a lot of apps trying to download to the watch for the past 7 hours.
Phone is 17.4.1, watch version 10.4
Phone is 17.4.1, watch version 10.4
You set your watch up as new I must assume, in which case there are no apps to download.
Launch the heart rate app and tell us what happens
I had little choice. Can I not download any apps for my watch now?
I will try to launch heart rate app

Why download apps when your watch seemingly is not functioning as expected? That just blurs the whole situation.
One step at a time
I'm not downloading apps. I was asking if I will be able to download the apps I already had on my watch.
So gmails are showing. However, I checked the Heart app. It says searching but doesn't load properly. Is Apple Watch 6 compatible with iPhone Pro 15?

The 6, though, has to be running a compatible Watch OS!

The OP is trying to pair to an iPhone 15 Pro...so we know it has to be running iOS 17, which in turn automatically means it's compatible with all older watches and watchOS versions.Is Apple Watch 6 compatible with iPhone Pro 15?

Basically, iOS versions support all watches/watchOS versions that preceded it. Apple hasn't cut off compatibility in this direction, at least not yet. It's only when you want to use a newer watch/watchOS with an older iPhone/iOS that you have to worry about compatibility.

My S6 Watch works perfectly with my 15PM.. My phone is on 17.3.1 and the AW is on 9.6.3
Health data backs up to health…can’t back up if not paired…really the only way to get this pair functional and talking again
Sounds like it’s trying to load every app on the phone that can go to the watch…in the watch app, go to general, turn off automatic app install, the go back one screen, scroll down to apps, install the ones you want and remove the ones you didn’t n’t need…
