Apple Watch series 1 cannot reset

Need help. Trying to reset to factory settings and nothing works. Buttons will not allow me to factory reset phone and the voice over keeps stating everything I push. Passcode doesn’t allow me to the next steps

Try this;

To force reset your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the little green check button.
