I got a new watch and unpaired my old Apple watch and I just went to see if everything is erased on the old watch and it needs charged but since I unpaired the watch it does not charge. How do I make sure all the information on the old watch is erased?
Apple Watch Series 1, watchOS 6

I could not click all devices at the top of my screen but below the map it said Gretchen's Apple Watch but I'm not sure if this is the old or the new one? I'm thinking it is the new one, so I didn't want to erase it.???? Now what?
Charge the old watch and do this;
Settings/general/reset/erase all content and settings
If you can't access anything on the watch then it probably has been erased when you unpaired it.
You could also remove all watches on icloud and then setup your new watch again to be sure.
I'm trying to charge the old watch but it is not charging because it's already off my iPhone. This is the problem, not sure what else to do??? Could I add it back again and then charge it and erase everything?
Ok I paired it and unpaired it and I think everything has been erased, thank you!
