Unpair Apple Watch from Phone I No Longer Possess

I recently found the apple watch I lost 2 years ago. Id like to erase and give to my niece to pair with her iPhone, but I no longer have the iPhone that it was paired to. The watch says I have to remove the Activation Lock. How do I do this without the old phone?

To unpair and erase watch and remove Activation Lock.

On a computer, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Go to Find Iphone.

Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.

Select Next until the device is erased.

Click the remove button next to your Apple Watch.
