I have unpaired my Apple Watch from the previous phone and also reset the content and settings on there. It’s prompting me to pair my Apple Watch on the old phone, so I think that means it’s been successfully unpaired?
I’ve also turned them both off and on again, but my watch will not pair to my new phone. Any help on what can be done?

Thank you for carefully explaining what you need.
Wondering if both the Watch OS and iPhone iOS are updated to the newest compatible versions.
iPhone: About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 16.5 is the latest version:
Watch: About watchOS 9 Updates - Apple Support says: watchOS 9.5.1
and
