My watch has never been able to connect to my phone. I am traveling and I want my husband to have watch in case he falls

How do I connect. Go to Family Connect and have phone work with watch. It won't connect because I obtained a new iPhone and it won't link. I have no access to the old phone.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 8

Here are two ways to unpair your watch if you no longer have the paired iPhone:

  • See the 'How to erase your Apple Watch if you don't have your iPhone' section of:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

  • With a web browser, go to: https://www.iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Open Find My iPhone and select All Devices (at the top). Then click your Apple Watch, select 'Erase Apple Watch', and select Next until the device is erased. Finally click "X" next to remove your Apple Watch.
