In my settings app on iPhone, no watch backup is listed under the Watch app. This has me to believe that no backups are taking place. You are suggesting to just willy-nilly unpair your Apple Watch because that will create a backup on the paired iPhone. But in your video, your latest backup is yesterday, meaning it did not in fact create said backup. What am I supposed to do? Just believe it will hopefully work when I unpair and no issue occurs like with your Watch? Such stupid design. "It just works" my ass. Have been at this for over two hours now. Would a "Backup Apple Watch Now" button really destroy the magic, Apple?
I still have my old phone & it’s wanting me to set my watch back up on it? It’s not even recognizing my watch on the old phone?? I don’t understand this. I didn’t change anything just transferred data to new phone. Someone help!!
Eek, I just got new phone and traded in old phone. I didn’t know I had to unpair from old phone. Old phone gone 😮 guess it’s a trip to the Apple Store for me. I hope all is not lost.
But the issue is all your fitness data that was captured when the old iPhone was not paired with the watch (example: old iPhone broke down), you have no option but to loose that data and then pair it with new iPhone.
Thank you ! After an hour of looking elsewhere and trying many other solutions, this is the only one that worked 🙂
What if the previous iPhone is gone already without unpairing it?
What if the previous iPhone is crashed
Same problem I have, have you found out how?

Same here. Did you find a solution?
You can erase all settings on your watch then repair to the new phone

It doesnt backed up my apple watch, so everything is deleted :')
