Here's what your Apple Watch backup includes

  • App-specific data (for built-in apps) and settings (for built-in and third-party apps). For example, Maps, distance, units, and your settings for Mail, Calendar, Stocks, and Weather. 
  • App layout on the Home screen
  • Clock face settings, including your current watch face, customizations, and order 
  • Dock settings, including the order, whether you sort by favorites or recents, and available apps 
  • General system settings, such as brightness, sound, and haptic settings
  • Health and Fitness data, such as history, awards, Workout and Activity calibration data from your Apple Watch, and user-entered data (To back up Health and Fitness data, you need to use iCloud or an encrypted backup on your computer.)
  • Notification settings
  • Playlists, albums, and mixes that are synced to your Apple Watch, and your Music settings
  • The Siri Voice Feedback setting that controls when Siri speaks 
  • Synced photo album (To see which album syncs, open the Apple Watch app, tap the My Watch tab, then tap Photos > Synced Album.) 
  • Time Zone
