Apple Watch SE Pairing Issue After Screen Replacement

My Apple Watch SE had a screen replacement and is paired with my iPhone. However, the Watch app on my iPhone shows the "Start Pairing" screen, and despite being on the same Wi-Fi and having Bluetooth enabled, it can't find my iPhone. Interestingly, "Find Devices" in the app locates my iPhone and can make it ring when I tap "Play Sound." Remember my iPhone has the latest iOS "16.7.1" and my wach is having "9.2".


Can anyone guide me how to fix this issue?


Thanks in advance.

Am no expert in this area: however:

wondering if you need to follow Apple Support's article (link below) for pairing to a "new" iPhone ?
