iwatch password locked and unpaired iphone

My iwatch password is locked and is saying to reset on iPhone, but I now have a new iPhone and my iwatch is not paired to it. How do I reset my iwatch without it being paired to my iPhone? Thanks.

Hi


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 using the Watch app on your iPhone, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.
