i can't unpair my watch from my old phone

I got a new phone. Didn't realize I had to unpair my watch from the old phone to be able to pair with my new phone. My old phone is no longer able to let me unpair. Says my Apple ID can't connect. I imagine its because my old phone isn't active. On my icloud account on the computer, I don't see my iwatch.

If the Watch was set up with your Apple ID then it would not matter if it was still paired or unpaired. Whether or not you have your old phone your options to pair your watch are in this article.

If the Watch was in reality paired using someone else's Apple ID then they need to unlock it
