My sister gave me her old watch, but I cannot connect it to my phone.

My sister gave me her old watch, but I cannot connect it to my phone. The only options it gives me are; language selection, region selection and then pair. When I try to pair it, it scans and then waits for a minute or two and then unpairs. If I try to pair it manually, it asks for the 6 digit code displayed on the watch, but no code ever comes up. What do I do?

Apple Watch

If it ask for a 6 digit code means it is still paired to your sister's iPhone.

If you see a watch face when you’re trying to pair: Your Apple Watch is already paired to an iPhone. You need to first erase all Apple Watch content and reset settings.
If the camera doesn’t start the pairing process: Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually at the bottom of the iPhone screen, and follow the onscreen instructions.
