new watch

I can't get my new watch to pair with my phone. There's an "i" icon on the watch, but when I tap it nothing comes up to give me the six digit corresponding number. The watch only shows the icon, nothing else.

My series 2 watch is broken, unable to be used, the top was crushed. I bought a series 6 that I am trying to pair with my phone.
