Hey,
my phone got stolen yesterday so my question is: how long can my watch store the data before I lose some of it before I can synchronize it?
Like can it hold data for a week? Or just days?
At what point will I lose data if I can't synchronize it because I don't have my phone anymore?
Apple Watch
and if I get my phone back?
then I could sync the watch with it again. but then the question stays: for how long can the watch hold data when not synced all the time?
Hi Countess
If you have an encrypted backup of your stolen iPhone, when you come to restore a replacement iPhone from that backup, the restored information will include any past Health and Activity data that was stored on your iPhone up until the point at which that backup was made.
You cannot save any Activity data or Workout data that you accumulate on your watch between the time when it last synced with your original iPhone (and that iPhone was also backed up afterwards via encrypted backup) up until the time when you pair your watch to a replacement iPhone.
You will need to manually reset your watch before it can be paired to that replacement (even if the replacement is restored from a backup of the stolen iPhone).
To reset your watch, go to the Home screen on your watch (a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
How long can the watch keep data without synchronizing
