My apple watch and phone are not communicating

My apple watch and phone are not communicating for some reason. In trying to un-pair it before I pair it again, the "All watches" tab doesn't show when I hit the My Watch tab. If I need to erase my apple watch instead, will my phone lose all my past runs?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Rest assured, unpairing and re-pairing will cause no harm in that sense. A full backup to your iPhone is automatically taken during unpairing, with this content:

Here is some good help to that original problem too:
