Apple Watch awards missing on iPhone
Hello all,
I upgraded my previous iPhone to the iPhone 12 Pro today, and lost my my Awards/Accomplishments in the Activity app. I was able to resolve this, although with many hours of headaches...so I'd like to share my steps to prevent this for future users.
First and obviously, make a backup of your iPhone (which will backup your Apple Watch).
Unpair your Watch from the old iPhone.
When you restore your new iPhone from the backup, you will be asked to update your Watch during the initial migration. Choose to do this later.
Finish your installations, allow the app updates to complete.
Now pair your Watch, and you should see your previous data in the Activity app.
If you are finding this after you find your data missing, as I did, you will want to follow the previous steps in addition to doing a full Reset and Clear of the new phone. It's a long process, but if you want your data, then that's what you'll have to do. I'm assuming that the problem was due to the fact that it only loaded the data that could be stored on my watch (35 days worth for me).
