Apple Watch Unpaired but still showing Device Locked screen

I unpaired my Apple watch on the iPhone and got a message that it may have been unsuccessful. My watch is still locked with the "Device Locked, first put on your Apple watch then unlock iPhone" message. How do I reset my watch this way?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
