My lasT phone bricked on me and my replacement phone can’t pair with the watch now because of the activation lock. I can’t unpair it from the phone that crashed.

How can I pair my Apple Watch with my new phone since the activation lock won’t let me do it. My old phone bricked on me and I can’t unpair it to proceed. Can anyone advise?
