iPhone Apple Watch pairing

Wanted to get a fresh start w/ Apple Watch 4, so did complete reset. Now cannot get paired w iPhone 8+. When I try to pair, REPEATEDLY get the message ‘Get Connected’ to set up your Apple Watch, make sure your iPhone is connected to a wi-if or a cellular network, and turn on Bluetooth

I have done all of this.

The watch only displays the prompts for language selection and nothing else.

Can anyone assist??

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

If your watch is displaying anything except the initial pairing screen as illustrated in Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support then it was not successfully erased during unpairing. You will probably need to erase again using the second method in If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support and make sure it is also gone from paired devices on your iPhone
