Apple Watch passcode locked

My apple watch is locked. I know the passcode but I get an error message to reset it. It had been paired to an old iPhone which I no longer have. I cannot pair it with my new phone. I cannot access any general on the phone app. I cannot do anything! Why does Apple do this!!! Help

Hi Jonathan,


i tried to follow the instructions, but after pressing and holding the side button, the power off slider shows up with gray color (inactive). ii tried to press firmly but nothing happens (pressing for 10 to 20 seconds, isnt enough)?


when i remove the iwatch from the cable the power off becomes active (white and orange color) but again no response when i hold it for the same aforementioned period.


how can i reset it my watch please.
