How to pair iWatch to factory reset iPhone

Thanks!

let me put my query very specific. I have done the factory reset on my iPhone recently and now iWatch is not syncing any data with iPhone. When i open Watch app on iPhone, it says Pair iWatch. Yes i can do that by erasing current iWatch but what happens to my data that is recorded on iPhone for past few weeks i.e. the point after iPhone was factory reset. Is it auto backing up to cloud or will i lose all those data?

Thanks again!

Hello,

I am following your steps mentioned earlier (pasted below for easy reference). When i click on Find Iphone, then All Devices, i do not see Apple Watch. I see all other devices like iPad, Air Pods, etc. but not the Watch. Could you help me on what needs to be done next?

Thanks again!

To unpair and erase watch and remove Activation Lock.

On a computer, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Go to Find Iphone.

Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.

Click Erase Apple Watch.

Select Next until the device is erased.

Click the remove button next to your Apple Watch.

Then go here;

Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support

Thanks!

it means, this is hard reset and there is no backup to icloud.com. And i am going to lose my data captured on watch.

Anyway, i have to do this instead of delaying further.
