Activity Data on Apple Watch didn’t transfer

I set up my new iPhone 11, and forgot to unpair my Apple Watch from my old iPhone 8 until the next day. After unpairing from the old phone and pairing with the new phone, my activity data didn’t transfer from the old to the new for the last 2 days. Anyway to transfer these days together?

Transfer Apple Watch activity My daughter just got a new iPhone 11 and her Apple Watch activity did not transfer with the rest of her phones data. The transfer from her old phone to the new did not go smoothly, but it got done, then the re-pairing of the watch did not go as hoped either, and we did a hard reset of the watch to get it to pair, then when it synced most of the activity did not sync. Any ideas how to transfer the data from the old phone (it appears to still be there)?

Apple Watch data transfer I recently completed a run using the workout app on my Apple Watch over cell data. My old watch isn’t paired to my upgraded phone, is there any way to transfer my workout data before resetting my watch to re pair with the new phone?

Pairing Apple Watch to new iPhone So everything I see tells you to erase your iwatch to pair it to a new phone when the old phone is dead or lost. The problem with this is the iwatch actually has data on it you don't want to lose as after checking icloud on the old phone some of the data is missing yet is still on watch. So how do you back up the data on the watch such as contacts so you don't lose them before you erase to sync to new phone? Not sure why Apple makes this so complicated since they know people lose or damage their phones all the time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unpair and re-pair the watch then when it asks restore from backup and selelect the backup from your old phone.
