cannot open iwatch

I want to reset an old watch to give to a friend. I cannot open it because it is not connected to any phone anymore. How do I reset it to factory settings?

If you can follow the steps in the 'Before you buy a watch from a third-party' section of this article:

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch, or buy one from someone else - Apple Support

then it is reset to factory conditions and all your personal information is safe.

If not, ten see the 'Before you sell, give away, or trade in your Apple Watch' section of the same article.
