I need to reset my old Apple Watch 3. I can’t get it to pair with my phone. And it doesn’t show up on my phone any longer. I did a reset just now. Will my old content still be on the watch?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5
It will be if you just did a reset holding buttons. If you wish to get it ready for your child, you need to do this, What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support

What doesn't show up where? If you reset the watch the way it said in the support document and had already unpaired it from your iPhone, you just need to wipe it. If it does not appear in iCloud, then you have already removed it from your account and Activation Lock. If you turn the Watch on, it should start with the pairing screen. If it does, then it is wiped, and your data is gone.
I tried that but it doesn’t show up. Just my 5.
The Apple 3 doesn’t show up in My Watch. It does start with pairing. I guess I did it and didn’t realize it. Thank you for your help
You're welcome. That is what I understood when you said, "just my 5." Glad you are satisfied.
Is old text messages still on watch after reset
