Hi Michael
Follow these steps to erase your locked watch and pair it with your new iPhone:
- Connect your watch to its charging cable, with power connected.
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
- Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
- Pair your watch with your new iPhone, using the Watch app (if you restored your new iPhone from a backup of your old one, you may be offered the option to also restore your watch from backup during setup).
