How to reset Apple Watch

My Apple Watch has a message that states “ too many passcode attempts reset Apple Watch and pair again” I tried by pushing the crown and button at the same time and it only turns off, I tried going in the watch app but it is not paired to my phone:

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8
