Q: Can be used the Apple Watch with 2 iPhones?

I use one iPhone 6 Plus and one iPhone 6, I just receive my Watch today and I did the setup with my iPhone 6 and everything went good.

After I turn off my iPhone 6 and tried to do the same with my iPhone 6 Plus, but I can't connect it. I Unpair the watch from my iPhone 6

but I did not find option to add another device, the only way is doing a reset to the watch and start the setup again.

Any help? maybe I missing something or the watch only can be used on the phone that  was setup first?

Watch Sport 42mm

A:

That's right. The watch doesn't give you the option to pair to two phones at the same time.

 

And if it did connect to two phones, every time you tried to send a message from the watch or make a phone call it would have to ask you which phone you wanted to use to send the message/phone call. Just about every watch app would have to ask you which phone to communicate with. This would be impractical.

    As a comparison, some 3rd party Bluetooth headsets can pair with multiple phones and allow switching back and forth. It would be odd to see someone wears two Apple Watches, left and right, since this person has two iPhones in his pocket. And what's the use case for one iPhone to pair with multiple Apple Watches? Just I can wear 2 Apple Watches at the same time with one iPhone in my pocket?

    One use case would be someone who bought a Sport watch for casual use and the stainless steel edition for more formal occasions. Or someone who bought watches in different colors. Just because you can pair more than one watch to a phone doesn't mean you have to wear both watches at once.
