Wrong passcode: iPhone Reenable passcode does not work

Watch says "Wrong passcode Open the Apple Watch app on your iphone go to passcode then tap re-enable passcode entry to try again. In the iPhone app, nothing happens when I tap Renae passcode. I think I was wearing my watch too lose and it thought I was entering the wrong passcode too many times from what I read.

Hi

Follow these steps to erase your locked watch and re-pair it with your 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 the display (do not try to slide the Power Off slider - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
Re-pair your watch using the Watch app on your iPhone, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.
