Locked Apple Watch

im locked at too many password attempts. No button combination works to show me the power off slider. I have a new phone and it’s not paired. This is basically a brick at this point. What can I do?

it is still registered to my iCloud.

Apple Watch 5 locked, can't reset my Apple Watch is showing too many attempts and asking to factory reset. I saw on some YouTube videos asking to do following: Press down on digital key until power off button appears and then press in the crown But when I do that it just goes back to the watch home Lock Screen I also tried pressing down on the digital key and the power off button appears. then pressed down on power off button and then erase all content and settings. It looks like something happened but still can't unlock or reset the phone The watch is currently unpaired and made sure the watch is not tagged to any iCloud account What can I do?

Locked out but untouched This has happened 3 times now and it is really annoying and time consuming to have to re-pair my watch first thing in the morning. It sits on the charger all night untouched. No password being entered yet when I go to put it on in the morning I am greeted with “Too Many Passcode Attempts” only there was no where near 10 password attempts. Not even one wrong password attempt. I hope they fix this bug soon, this is my first Apple Watch and I shouldn’t have to do this all the time for no reason. I saw that someone else had the same issue and instead of addressing it we just get the reset process. Not helpful.
