My iPhone refuses to pair with my Apple Watch

I had to unpair my Apple Watch from my iPhone to make the activity app work properly. I unpaired it, and then reset the Apple Watch. Now, when I try to pair the two together through the camera, it gives me a message “cannot connect to Apple Watch” And tells me to make sure that it is not paired to another phone. I tried doing it manually, and the name never comes up. Help?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7
