I changed my apple ID on the phone, following the app instructions, unpaired and re-paired the watch, and everything now is fine. Thank you.

I suggest you try to unpair the watch (using your old Apple ID), then pair it to your iPhone using your new Apple ID. BTW, did you change your Apple ID according to:

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support

or did you create a new Apple ID? If you changed it according to the above links, you should not have this problem.
