No, it is not possible to pair one Apple Watch with two iPhones simultaneously. Each Apple Watch can only be paired with a single iPhone at a time. When you pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone, it will automatically unpair from the previous iPhone.

If you want to use the same Apple Watch with multiple iPhones, you will need to unpair it from one iPhone and then pair it with the other iPhone. This process involves erasing the content and settings on the Apple Watch and setting it up as a new device with the new iPhone.

Keep in mind that when you unpair your Apple Watch from an iPhone, it will remove all data, settings, and apps specific to that iPhone from the Apple Watch. If you want to switch between multiple iPhones frequently, it may be inconvenient as you'll need to set up and sync the Apple Watch with each iPhone separately each time you switch.

It's worth noting that some data, such as health and activity information, can be synced between iPhones through iCloud if you're using the same Apple ID and have iCloud syncing enabled for Health data on both devices. However, the pairing and direct connection between an Apple Watch and an iPhone are limited to one device at a time.
