I just bought an iphone 15 and I can't pair it with my old Apple Watch. My Apple Watch isn't recognizing my passcode, and my Watch app on the iphone doesn't show All Watches - it's stuck on the Start pairing mode. What do I do?

I'm afraid I'm going to be locked out of my Apple Watch if I keep trying my passcode - it won't allow me in for another 60 minutes at this point.
