I can’t pair my Apple Watch ! Help

I followed the instructions given in a previous answer. About erasing the contents but i can’t get into the phone to pair it nor can i sign in with my Apple ID. I’ve held the power button and waited for the power slider to appear. Held the power off and nothing happens. The words go in with the firm tap but still nothing happens. Somebody please help I have tried many times 🏾♀ I just want my watch to pair to my new iPhone. 🙄

Otherwise, if your Mom still needs assistance, ask her to contact Apple Support or to make a Genius Bar reservation, taking along the Apple Watch and her original proof of purchase for it:

If the Apple Watch is pre-owned and locked by Activation Lock, then arrange for the previous owner to follow the instructions here to prepare the Apple Watch for you, as the a new owner, to set up and use as your own:
