How to unpair apple watch when it's not showing up as paired with old or new iPhone?

How do I unpair my apple watch when it's not showing up as paired with my old or new iPhone ? When I try to pair the watch it says I need to unpair it from my iPhone but its not showing up as paired. Neither iPhone has any watch paired to it. I wanted to keep the data activity thats stored on the watch if possible. TIA :)
