Hi Harryrignall,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! Sounds like you need to erase your Apple Watch, but your iPhone isn't paired, do we have that right? You mentioned that your Apple Watch screen was damaged and unresponsive, does the side button and Digital Crown work? If so, you can press and hold the side button until you see the "Power off" option. When that comes up, press and hold the Digital Crown until you see "Erase all content and settings". From there you can tap Reset, then Reset again to confirm.
Check out those steps here: If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode.
Hope that helps!
