Unlock Apple Watch Activation Lock
It looks like your Apple Watch is asking you to unlock it, but you can't enter a passcode. You mention you also set up Apple Pay on your iPhone.
As mentioned in Set up your Apple Watch, your Watch needs a passcode for features like Apple Pay. If you don't see a number pad to enter your passcode on the Watch, restart it:
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
- Drag the slider to turn off your device completely.
- After you turn off your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.
