PAIRING APPLE WATCH 6…RESET ULTIMATE LAST OPTION.

Suppose your watch is paired to an iPhone That may be damaged? No longer turns completely on and is stuck on the Apple logo scream.

And now I have a new phone for pairing, but I can no longer access the old phone… How do I pair? Without losing all that has been programmed into the watch?

Thanks

Apple Watch

The iPhone backup that you’ve been keeping of the now-failed iPhone will contain the Apple Watch backups, so a reset will not matter to the Watch; the Watch can be restored from the iPhone that was restored from the damaged iPhone backups.


Tap or click on the following link discusses how to un-pair when the paired iPhone is no longer available:
