Q: Apple watch locked and can't unlock

I have a message on my apple watch telling me it is locked and that I need to unlock my iphone to start using it.  The  iphone is unlocked.

I don't have a passcode set on the apple watch and if I go into the passcode section on the apple watch app on iphone I get a message telling the the apple watch is currently lock and I should unlock it to continue.  But no way of doing this...

 

Sequence of events that got me here:

 

1) apple watch and lost power completely as I hadn't worn for a few days

2) earlier today I setup apple pay on my iphone

3) then later today got watch and charged it up

4) now it tells me it is locked (which its never done before) and I seem to have no way of unlocking it.  no password was ever set.

 

Is this something to do with me installing apple pay on the iphone without the watch having a passcode set...?  How do I get out of this problem?
