Have you tried opening the watch app on the phone and erasing it from there?

To reset Without iphone


First, make sure your Apple Watch is on its charger, and keep it there until you're all done.


Next, press-and-hold the side button until you see the power menu come up. Instead of sliding the "Power Off" switch, firmly press on it and let go. On the prompt, tap "Erase all content and settings," tap the green checkmark to confirm, then just wait for the process to finish.


Keep in mind that you will need your iPhone nearby in order to set up the Apple Watch again
