How can I add my Apple Watch to my new iPhone that has a different Apple ID?

I made the mistake of adding a new Apple ID to the new phone and was not aware that I cannot connect to my Apple Watch. When I try to go back to correct it, I made matters worse. I did not want to go into the store with or without an appointment because I did not have the time. Am I able to connect the Apple Watch to the new Apple iPhone?
