Apple Watch: Too many passcode attempts and cant reset via watch or phone

I have had too many passcode attempts (its a long story) and now get the message Reset Apple Watch and Pair Again. The problem is I cant do a reset from my watch, because it is locked. When I tried doing it from my phone, I must have done something wrong, because all watch data/info has been lost from my phone, yet my phone won’t let me re-pair automatically and the manual set-up requires access to the “i” icon on the watch. What to do?!?

Unfortunately this suggestion doesn't work. When I get to step #3Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see Erase all content and settings.- I don't get the Erase all content and settings message, I continue to get the message that I have had too many passcode attempts and can't do anything else. All very frustrating.
