Hello alastair214,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It appears there are issues setting up the Apple Watch. We'll do what we can to help.
Restart the companion iPhone and try again: Restart your iPhone
If possible, also restart the Apple Watch: How to restart your Apple Watch
If you're still having issues, remove the Watch app for the iPhone and install it again: Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch
Thanks, and enjoy your day!
