Apple Watch won’t pair with my IPhone 6 Plus

Every time I start the pairing process, an unpairing process starts and it won’t pair.

I have done everything, according to several You Tube channel guys said to do.

The phone keeps starting the unpairing process.

WiFi ON,

LATEST UPDATE DONE ON PHONE

BLUETOOTH ON,

BOTH ITEMS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED

THIS IS A BRAND NEW APPLE WATCH TRYING TO PAIR WITH AN IPHONE 6 Plus

Any help will be most appreciated!
