Apple Watch - Restore from Backup

When i try to pair my new apple watch after unpairing my old one, after aiming the iphone camera at the "cloud" design, i don't get an option to "restore from backup." can someone help? I don't want to have to start all over again!

Once the watch is paired then you are asked setup as new or restore from backup,you dont get this request until the watch is actually paired.
