Apple Watch passcode too many attempts

How can I restart my apple when it shows passcode too many attempts? I can not do it with my iPhone as it was not paired and apple watch app asks to pair it again.

Also tried to reset using side button until Power Off and then press and hold Digital Crown, but Reset does not appear, it simply locks back to the screen of “passcode too many attempts”. How can I reset my apple watch?
