If I wipe (reset) my Apple Watch will I lose the health data that has been transferred to my new phone? The two will NOT connect.

Resetting my watch is the only option I haven't tried in order to get the watch and my new 14 to connect and pair. I want to make sure that the health data I have gathered via the watch, and which was successfully synced from my old phone, will not be lost if I do so. Probably not, but would like assurances.

iPhone 14 Pro

If you reset the watch as new, there should be no loss of Fitness data or Awards since those are stored on the paired iPhone, not the watch. I ASSUME the same is true for the Health data.
