Hey CVRN1,

We suggest removing the old Apple Watch from the device prior to pairing the new one. Follow the steps below to do so.

Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.Tap the info button next to the watch that you want to unpair. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.

For additional information, see section labeled "How to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone": Unpair and erase your Apple Watch.
