Hi! Apple watch resets can sometimes take a little while. Please make sure that you keep your paired iPhone close by during the reset process. If nothing happens for several more hours, try pressing and holding on your watch's side button until the screen goes dark, and then pressing and holding that same side button again until you see the Apple logo.
