Further to @mbckl post of 26 November that One UI 6 Watch release for the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic version, I can confirm that One UI 6 Watch update has been available for the "lesser" versions of the Watch 6 family of watches as of 29 November in Australia.

I have the Watch 6 44mm LTE version.

It is a chunky download at roughly 1900 Mb and I had lots of failed attempts in downloading. 

Success was achieved following advice on Reddit posts of not updating via the Wear App on the phone but rather disabling bluetooth ( i.e. disconnecting Watch from phone) and updating via the Watch only ( i.e. Settings >Software Update).

Samsung's release strategy is frustrating given that @mbckl post of 26 November indicated that the software update for your version of the Watch 6 family (i.e. Classic 47mm with software version starting "R960") was available.

I was constantly doing manual "software update" checks ( i.e. don't wait for Auto download to show up that a newer software version is available) for 3 straight days before it showed up for my Watch 6 44mm LTE (non Classic).
