I recently had to restore my phone. I use to have my Apple Watch in sync with my phone but since I had to start over, my Apple Watch isn’t paired with my phone anymore. What do I do?

There’s a slim chance you can just start pairing again but the watch probably thinks it is still paired. You will probably have to erase the watch to clear the watch side of the old pairing, then pair again like a new watch.
