You can unpair your watch without your iPhone nearby, have a look at this related article:

And, your Apple Watch data is part of the iPhone backup, so restore your iPhone first from an iCloud backup, then pair the watch again.

If you can't access your iPhone or Apple Watch, or if your Apple Watch isn't paired with your iPhone and you need to turn off Activation Lock:


  1. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. 
  2. From the Quick Access Menu in the top right, select Find My. You might be required to sign in.
  3. Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.
  4. Click Erase Apple Watch. Select Next until the device is erased.
  5. Click the Remove button next to your Apple Watch.
