pairing my iwatch

I had to reset my iPhone 6 back to factory settings. Now my watch is not paired. It won't pair through the app and I can't find the "i" icon to do it manually. When I try to reset my iwatch to factory settings, nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Pairing iWatch and iPhone After months of success my iWatch would not unlock despite unlocking my iPhone. I tried to unpair them and that does not seem to have been successful. Now my iPhone is trying to pair by asking to hold my watch to the camera. I do that and nothing happens. I then tried manual pairing. There is an instruction to tap the"i" icon on my watch. There is no icon, only the watch face. When I tap on the side button it says the device is locked and to unlock my iPhone but the iPhone is unlocked. iPhone shows Start Pairing screen and nothing else. Please help

If you have an iphone 6 then a watch with watchos6 on it will not pair,watchos6 requires a phone with ios13 or higher.

Iphone 6 will only update to ios12.
