I cannot unlock my watch telling me wrong password and keeps flipping to eight hours and then when it gets down to one it goes right back again I need some help to unlock it

It keeps telling me that I put in the wrong pass code. I can’t use my iPhone to unlock it to put in the passcode and it keeps jumping hours on me that I have to wait.
