Apple Watch manual reset.

I am currently trying to follow the steps to manually reset my Apple Watch series 3 because I forgot my passcode. I hold the side button until the screen says "power off" and then press in and hold the digital crown but the screen turns off and doesn't give me the option to reset the apple watch. How might I troubleshoot this problem?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

First, make sure your watch is fully charged. Then try again. If it still fails, see the 'How to reset your Apple Watch using your paired iPhone' section in:
