I can't get the watch to the connection page

All I get is the apple "turning on". I had it loading and connecting before, and then the verification failed so I went to start over and it didn't unpair? or maybe it did, but now I can't get it to connect to my phone and I can't get the watch to show anything but the apple. What do I do now?

If the white Apple is just sitting there and won't get off of it, then a Forced Restart is what you need to do.

Press and hold BOTH the Digital Crown AND the side button until the white Apple appears on the screen then release both buttons (approximately 10-20 seconds).

Let us know what happens, hopefully it'll advance to the next screen so that you can restart the pairing process.
