You need to remove the Watch from your Apple ID -

Go to icloud.com and login
Open Find iPhone.
In the All Devices pulldown menu select your Watch.
In the resulting sheet that appears to the right choose erase Apple Watch.
Then Remove the watch from your Apple ID.

Now it should be ready to set up as a new watch with your new iPhone.
