Backup for iWatch How do I know if it was done when I un-paired it?

I unpaired my watch when I submitted the Apple Support claim. How do I know if it made a backup or should I pair it again and then do a backup?

See the 'How Apple Watch backs up your data' section in:

Back up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

All I can suggest is that on your iPhone tap:

Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Watch

If "Remove All Backups" is listed there, then I assume a watch backup exists.

Found "Watch" and it lists App Size 48.1 mb, Documents & Data 99 KB and down below that it says Randy's Apple Watch 99 KB followed by a description. This would imply to me that it has a 99KB backup. Is that a fair assumption? I did not keep photos or music on it and used it mainly to access my exercise tracker so that 99KB may be the full backup. Thanks for your quick response.
