Why did you create a new Apple Account just because you lost a phone?
If you were afraid someone could access your account, you just needed to change the password.
Creating a new Apple Account isn't a good idea. What do you plan to do about all the content you acquired with the old Account? For example apps, they can't be updated or redownloaded with the new account.
Regarding your question about the watch, you need to release the Activation Lock the old Account has on the watch.
After the watch is erased, set it up as a new watch using the new Apple Account.
