I plan on leaving my iPhone behind for a week but wanted to not lose all the hiking, running etc activity the watch will track. I am curious how many days of data can be stored on the watch before I need to sync it back up to my iPhone.
Thank you
It does and it did the first time. There is no time limit. If you are using iCloud backup it can also transfer the data to the cloud when you connect to a trusted WiFi hot spot.
Follow the instructions here to switch your Apple Watch between your old and new iPhone:
Switch your Apple Watch to a new iPhone - Apple Support
If you continue to use your Apple Watch after you no longer have access to your iPhone 6s, then it will not be possible to retain any data that is accumulated on your watch before you pair it to your new iPhone.
It is also not possible to sync it with an iPad or any other device in the interim period or to export the data in any other way.
If you do not unpair your Apple Watch before stopping using your old iPhone, then, in order to pair your Apple Watch with your new iPhone, you will first need to manually erase it by following these steps:
On your Apple Watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
Then pair it to your new iPhone via the standard process, choosing to Restore from Backup, if offered the option:
Hi, I am not switching iPhones. The watch will connect to the same iPhone. I just want to know how long i can keep it disconnected from the iPhone without loosing any fitness tracking data from the watch.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Thank you
How long does the Apple watch store activity info until I have to sync it back to my iPhone?
