After upgrade to iphone 13 pro I cannot connect my old Apple Watch 6

I did phone to phone upgrade from iPhone 8 Plus to iPhone 13 Pro. After that I can not connect to Watch 6. It says that iPhone can not connect to Apple Watch. IPhone asks I want to pair it:

1. as old watch - and it says iPhone can not connect toApple Watch

2 as new watch - and asks to place Watch in a iPhone’s window - no reaction on Watch. As far as I remember there was a optical on the Watch when I bought it last year.

Is factory reset of the Watch the only option? I hate wasting my time on configuration of the Watch.

Apple Watch Series 6
