Hi ClaireMarie0916,


We'd like to help you find the best solution path. We would recommend a reset to the Apple Watch if it is showing paired to another iPhone. The steps here should help: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch. This should allow you to repair to your Apple Watch after this is complete since you are running into this issue mentioning you are paired to another device. Let us know if this does not help or if you receive a different error.
