Got a new watch and unpaired my old watch from my iphone (in the watch app). It no longer appears on my iphone app however ot still says I need to unlock ot with my iphone. Since it is not paired, it wont unlock and I cam not reset it to factory settings. How can I reset without being able to unlock with the phone?

Reset and Erase Apple watch contents - My apple watch 1 was paired to unlock using my iphone. However, I had to reset my iphone because of some issues. When I reset the watch I was unable to pair the watch again. I am also unable to unlock the watch. How do I unlock the watch or reset it? It currently gives a message "Device Locket. First put on Apple Watch, then unlock your phone". However, now the phone is no longer paired with my watch.
