My iPhone died and the backup is 30 days old, but my apple watch keeps my activity data complete but is no longer connected to the phone. If I erase it there is no phone to make a backup so I will lose my data, if I don't then I can't pair it. Is there any way out of this situation. Please advise
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.2
I do not see any way you can backup your Apple Watch now.
Apple Watch content backs up automatically to your companion iPhone. When you back up your iPhone to iCloud or iTunes, your iPhone backup will also include your Apple Watch data.

Hi
It is not possible to back up watch data without access to the paired iPhone.
When pairing your watch to any replacement iPhone, you will retain whatever activity data may be included in the backup from which that replacement iPhone is restored.
For Activity and Health data to be included in an iPhone backup, it must be encrypted.
Backups made via iTunes without choosing the option to Encrypt iPhone backup do not include Health or Activity data. iCloud backups are encrypted as standard.

I thought so, thanks, for your time.
Thanks, guys. It was a long shot. Cheers
You're welcome - sorry it wasn't the answer you were hoping for.
