Reset Apple Watch Series 2

I have a iWatch Series 2 and an iWatch Series 4. The 4 is paired with my iPhone. I want to reset the series 2 to the original factory settings. I follow the steps online without it being paired with an iPhone but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

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.
