Why when I paired my watch to my new phone I lost all my fitness badges even though it was backed up the same day

Why when I paired my Apple Watch to my new iPhone did all my workout badges disappear? My watch was backed up earlier in the day

"My watch was backed up..." how exactly?


If you backed up using iTunes or Finder (on a Mac), then that backup had to be encrypted to capture your Health data. Without encryption on a computer backup, your Health data is gone.
