If you reset the phone then you'll probaby have to start from scratch with the watch;

Start here;

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 for about 20 seconds or until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the green check button.


If this goes ok you should end up at the watch pairing screen.
