Can’t pair new iPhone to existing iwatch

Bought a new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Iwatch is a series 5. Trying to pair them. Understand I need to unpair from old iPhone which I bo not have. But when I go into the iwatch app, the first screen is about pairing a new or existing watch. I can’t get past that to get to my watch. Suggestions? TIA
