After charging and pairing with my iPhone, it is telling me "Device Locked"

Brand new apple watch. After charging and pairing with my iPhone, it is telling me "Device Locked - unlock iphone to start using Apple Watch". Unlocking my iphone does nothing to unlock the watch.

Apple Watch is asking to unlock iPhone I took the Watch off the charger and it said Device Locked, put Apple Watch on and unlock with iPhone, which is normal. No matter how many times I unlock the iPhone, the Watch won't unlock. I went online and tried the steps of disconnecting from my iPhone and that worked but the apple watch still thought that it was connecting so it still wont unlock. Help me please?

Apple Watch Unpaired but still showing Device Locked screen I unpaired my Apple watch on the iPhone and got a message that it may have been unsuccessful. My watch is still locked with the "Device Locked, first put on your Apple watch then unlock iPhone" message. How do I reset my watch this way?
