What’s supposed to happen is what is explained here:

The issue for some people, as I understand it, is that the setup never offers to do the watch pairing and the watch doesn’t recognize the new phone after the setup. You’d then have to reset the watch and pair it using the watch app and restore a recent backup. But, again, from what I read, this is a rare occurrence. And it really doesn’t take that long to do whenever I’ve done this (which was a few times a few weeks ago when I was having issues with iTunes with my 6s and set up the phone from reset and restoring a backup.)
