Apple Watch will not pair with phone.

my Apple Watch 3 will not pair to my iphone (or any other iPhone). My phone is updated and running on the latest software. The watch has been reset and is ready to set up. It gets to this screen but no phone will read the QR screen (or whatever it that digital sphere is called). Had anyone had this problem or have an idea on how to get it to link to a phone?

Start by tapping the "I" button on your Watch"bottom right corner", which will bring up your device's name. Then on your iPhone, tap the device name that matches the one displayed on your Apple Watch. You'll see a six-digit code will appear, which you'll enter on your iPhone.

Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish pairing your watch.
