Hi adunn_22,
An Apple Watch can be only paired with one iPhone, but you can have more than one Apple Watch paired to an iPhone device, as seen below:
"Pair more than one Apple Watch
You can pair another Apple Watch in the same way you paired your first one. Bring your iPhone near your Apple Watch, wait for the Apple Watch pairing screen to appear on your iPhone, then tap Pair. Or follow these steps:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap My Watch, then tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
- Tap Add Watch, then follow the onscreen instructions.
See the Apple Support article Use more than one Apple Watch with your iPhone.
To learn how to set up a watch for someone in your Family Sharing group, see Set up Apple Watch for a family member.
Quickly switch to a different Apple Watch
Your iPhone detects the paired Apple Watch you’re wearing and automatically connects to it. Just put on a different Apple Watch and raise your wrist.
You can also choose an Apple Watch manually:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap My Watch, then tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
- Turn off Auto Switch.
To see if your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone, touch and hold the bottom of the watch screen, swipe up to open Control Center, then look for the Connected status icon"
That information can be found here: Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support
Take care.
