I've done exactly that no less than 5 times over the course of the last 8 hours. It doesn't stop the Iwatch from rebooting every time I try to pair it with my phone. I actually got it to pair once but the Iwatch kept rebooting itself every two minutes after it was paired so I erased all content and started over. Where I am now is when I try to pair it tells me to download the 6.2.5 to my watch. During the download, the watch reboots itself and it starts the pairing process all over again. It is indeed a vicious cycle.
Yes it is.
Thank you. That was my next plan of action. Was just hoping there was something I was missing. Great products but set up shouldn't be this hard.
Having tried just about everything,I think in your position I would return the watch and exchange it for one that works,you have 14 days in which to return it and take your phone with you if the apple store is open and get them to set it up in your presence.
Then you'll know whether you've got a faulty one or not.

Sorry I couldn't of been more help.
Which model of watch is it? and what version of watchOS is it running?.
It's a Series 5 GPS 44mm. As far as the watchOS version, it's whatever came on it. When it tells me to download watchOS 6.25, it keeps rebooting and I have to start all over again.
Is your phone up to date at ios13.4.1?,
