Apple Watch w/ new phone

Previously I had my Apple SE watch and iPhone11 paired.

iPhone was STOLEN and I locked and erased the data on phone.


Q: Now I need to pair my Apple Watch with new replacement iPhome? Can’t find how to restore to factory setting. Any ideas how I get this done?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8
