Apple Watch not pairing with new phone

I just Got a new Apple 13 Pro and it won’t pair with my old Apple Watch I had to return my old phone so I erased the old watch but it still is not recognizing my watch in Bluetooth. The watch just shows this on the face now. Any ideas what I should try?

Apple Watch won't pair manually, or at all. What does it mean when I try to manually pair my Apple series 4 Watch with my iPhone and then the iPhone does not show the watch. I get the 6 digit Bluetooth notification on the watch but it does not show up on the iPhone. Anyone experience this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Apple watch pairing to new iPhone12 I have a new iphone 12 pro, I unpaired my watch from my old Apple phone, erased it, and started the pairing process again. I started with a totally new watch profile...it works, connects and pairs, but then bluetooth is constantly trying to pair the same watch over and over again. I have erased the watch twice, repaired it, and it keeps trying to pair afterwards no matter what.

Erasing a watch doesn't remove the activation lock which is causing your problem;

Did you unpair the watch from your old phone first?.
