Connecting watch to wifi

I got a new Apple ID and want to set it up with my watch. I successfully unpaired the phone but the watch needs to be updated and I can’t do this without connecting the watch to wifi… how do I connect the watch to wifi if it’s stuck on the pairing screen

See the 'Unpair and update your Apple Watch' section in:

If you see 'Unable to Verify Update' when updating Apple Watch - Apple Support'

and then:

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Make sure that your iPhone has Bluetooth turned on, and that it's connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network and near your watch during the setup process.
