If it seems like the pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting your Apple Watch might help:

Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
After your watch resets, you can pair again.
