If this does not work, unpairing the watch would be the next step:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support

1 . Identify the model of Apple Watch

2 . Make sure that the previous owner removed Activation Lock from the watch and that the watch has been erased. They must unpair the watch and remove Activation Lock by entering their Apple Account password, so you can use the watch. 

• • If you see the passcode lock screen or the Home screen, the device needs to be erased. 
  • If you can, try to pair the watch with your iPhone. If you’re asked to enter the previous owner’s Apple Account password during setup, then Activation Lock is still on.

3 . For cellular models of Apple Watch, make sure that the previous owner removed and cancelled any active cellular plans.

Try these steps:

1. Make sure that your Apple Watch is connecting properly to its charger. 
2. Restart your Apple Watch.
3. Restart your paired iPhone.
4. Try again to update your Apple Watch.

If the update won’t start:

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General > Storage.
3. Delete the update file.
4. Try again to update your Apple Watch.

You restore your new iPhone from the backup of the old device and pair the watch after that, restoring from the last watch backup, as explained in this article?
