how to unpair apple watch from lost iphone

I lost my iPhone. All the instructions appear to require the phone to which the Apple Watch is currently paired, to be next to said phone, in order to unpair. Since I lost my iPhone, I cant unpair it to pair it to the new one.


How can I unpair the watch from the unavailable iPhone?

Hello,


You can erase and turn off Activation Lock from iCloud.com. Here's how:

  1. On a computer, go to Find My iPhone on iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. 
  2. Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.
  3. Click Erase Apple Watch. Select Next until the device is erased.
  4. Click the X button next to your Apple Watch.
