How do I remove my Apple ID from an Apple Watch?

I have given my daughter my old Apple Watch Series 3. I “forgot” the watch from my Apple ID and she is trying to now pair the watch to her iPhone 12. However it was attempting to pair without issue before she realized that she needed me to take it off my phone first. Now it keeps telling her that it needs my log in information before she can continue. Anyone have some advice?
