Apple Watch unpairing

So my friend broke her iPhone and can no longer access the phone so she therefore cannot unpair her Apple Watch to pair it to her new phone, there is there no other way of how to unpair the watch from the phone?

If you need to unpair your Watch and don’t have access to your iPhone or can’t

remember your Apple Watch passcode, follow these steps:

Put your Apple Watch on its charger

Press and hold the side button as if you were going to power it down

Do a firm press on the POWER OFF slider and let go

Tap Erase all content and settings

Alternately, you can go to Settings/General/Reset to erase and unpair your

Apple Watch if you know your passcode, but the option above is faster.

If you need to erase and unpair your Apple Watch without your iPhone, you can

log on to icloud.com on a computer and remove your Apple Watch under

Account Settings/My Devices.
