Cannot pair Apple Watch

I can not pair my watch with the phone. The watch has following message, “wrong passcode open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to passcode then tap Re-enable Passcode Entry to try again.” The Apple Watch app does not have a passcode option. It goes right to the camera alighn but does nothing. The watch does not go to any other page/window.

Cannot open apple watch with a passcode only when unlocking phone How can I change the settings on my apple watch to open with a passcode instead of when unlocking the phone? The passcode settings are all grayed out on my phone. I had an alert when pairing the watch that I needed to set the apple watch this way because of my phone's security settings. What steps should I take to use a passcode to open my apple watch?

Watch stuck on too many passcode screen My watch says ‘Too many passcode attempts reset Apple Watch and pair again’. I have read the previous questions and answers saying to keep the phone and watch close, and go into the watch app on my phone in order to re-set it. However, I have a new phone and haven’t yet set the watch up on my phone so it isn’t paired which means I can’t use the app yet. I have tried holding down both side buttons with the watch on the charger but nothing changes. Please help!

Try a reset on your Apple Watch. (Hold the crown and side button together until you see the Apple logo, then release both). If that doesn't work, call Apple Support.
