Apple Watch 7 locked with iPhone unlocked

Bought the watch yesterday, followed the steps but was never asked to set up a passcode. Was working ok. The battery died and after recharging it got a message: device locked Unlock iPhone to start using Apple Watch. The problem is that my phone is unlocked :( . Restarted the watch but that didn’t help.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8
