I’m unclear on what has happened here, but it seems there’s been a change of iPhone, and a forgotten passcode...


If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


So long as the Apple ID and password associated with the Activation Lock is known, this should all be able to get sorted out.
