There is no brand new watch series 2,this watch was discontinued a long time ago,watchos3 sounds like a series 0 watch which was the first ever watch.If you can on the watch go into settings/general/about and write down the model number then check the number If it's A1553 or A1554 then it is a series 0 1st generation watch.Which explains why you're having trouble pairing it.Or go here;
