Apple Watch won't pair to iPhone 6s after restoring

Hi there. I recently restored my iPhone 6s, but I forgot to unpair my Apple Watch. So I then restored my Apple Watch. At the language screen it's all good, and when I click start pairing, it says Your Apple Watch is paired, set up Apple Watch. Then I select my wrist preference and Agree to the Terms and Conditions, but at the next screen, on my iPhone it says: 'Verification Failed', 'please retry activation' and 'try again'. I then click on try again and there's a loading circle that goes on forever. I tried resetting Network Settings, All Settings on my iPhone, restarting both, I even tried pairing it with another iPhone, the same message shows. iOS 9.3.2, Apple Watch Sport 38mm watchOS 2.1.

Apple Watch Sport 38mm, watchOS 2.1, Also iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2

Hi,

Restart your iPhone.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

Then restart your Apple Watch.

Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
Drag the slider to turn off your device completely.
After you turn off your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

Then try pairing.

Thanks for your reply, I've tried that multiple times and nothing seems to work.
