First you need to unpair you old Apple Watch from your iPhone, you can do this by going to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. At the top there will be a section that says (*name* Apple Watch) Once you go into it, click the little ‘i’ and then press unpair Apple Watch. Once you’ve done this you can pair your new Apple Watch with your iPhone by going through the original setup process. You don’t need to reset your old Apple Watch.
