Old Apple ID is showing on my Apple Watch

I bought a new Apple watch. I paired with my phone but it links to an old apple ID so my texts won't sync. It doesn't give you the chance to enter an apple ID during set-up. How can I get it to use the correct ID?

Remove the old apple id by unpairing the watch that it's paired to,then re-pair the watch with your new apple id.
