apple pay won't work after getting new iPhone

I frequently use Apple Pay on my Apple Watch 4. I just got a new iPhone XR to replace my iPhone X. All has been sync on the new phone. Now Apple Pay doesn't work on my Apple Watch, even though it indicates the card is "ready" on the Watch. What do I need to do?

I also replaced an iPhone recently and my Apple Watch transferred seamlessly without interrupting Apple Pay functionality (I had to reauthorize the cardsa on the new iPhone) so You found a glitch. If I had the problem I would probably remove the card from the watch, then set it up again - the same process you would have met when you restored Apple Pay on your new phone.
