    Sorry about the loss

    You will need to follow the steps in this article to erase the phone and set it up as new and pair with the new Phone

     

    Switch your Apple Watch to a new iPhone - Apple Support

    If you don't have your old iPhone or a backup

    You should erase your Apple Watch, then pair it with your new iPhone. If you’re asked to restore from a watch backup, select the most recent backup. You will lose Activity, Workouts, or settings on your watch that changed between the last backup and now.

    Without an iPhone backup, you’ll need to set up your Apple Watch as new. You will lose any previous Activity, Workouts, or settings, but your other content will sync from the new iPhone to your Apple Watch.
