How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone

When I go to Find My iphone, my watch is not listed - I cannot get it to pair with my new 13 pro max. I traded in my old iphone at T- Mobile but an offline iphone still shows on Find My iphone. Should I remove it? Also having issues with my Airpods staying connected on my 13 pro max.

My problem is I erased my old phone before I unpaired my watch. Now what?

Ssme. T-Mobile transferred and took old phone and never mentioned anything about bathe watch or AirPods or keychain disappearing.
