Hi


In order to pair your Apple Watch with your replacement iPhone, you will first need to manually erase your Apple Watch by following these steps:


On your Apple Watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.


Then pair it to your new iPhone via the standard process, choosing to Restore from Backup, if offered the option:


Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Be sure to also follow the instructions here in respect of your stolen iPhone:


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
