Locked Apple watch

I recently changed my password on my Apple Watch and I’m pretty sure I knew what it was but it keeps saying I was wrong so it locked me out. Apple support said to unpair it, so I did. It’s unpaired from my phone but the watch is still locked. I can’t pair it again. How do I reset the watch itself completely?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

Unpairing should erase the watch but for some reason it failed to complete correctly. Use the second method in If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support and Erase again, noting the requirement for charger power or it will not show the Erase option.
