Apple watch pairing

Hi

If you are not able to switch your Apple Watch to your new iPhone by following the instructions here:

Switch your Apple Watch to a new iPhone - Apple Support

Then, as your old iPhone is no longer available, use one of these methods to erase your Apple Watch before pairing it to your new iPhone:

Erase your Apple Watch manually:

• On your Apple Watch: when viewing the time, go to the Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown) > Settings (gear icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings > confirm when prompted.
• Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support

Erase your Apple Watch via iCloud:

• On a computer, in a web browser, go to iCloud - Sign in and sign in with your Apple ID > Find My iPhone > Select All Devices > click on your Apple Watch > click on Erase Apple Watch > select Next until the device is erased.
• About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If necessary, erase your Apple Watch whilst charging it:

• Connect the Apple Watch to its charging cable, connected to power.
• Whilst keeping the watch on the charger and connected to power:
  • Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
  • Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap), release your finger, then tap on Erase all content and settings and confirm when prompted.
• If you forgot the passcode for your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Before pairing your Apple Watch with your new iPhone, be sure to check that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS:

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

You're welcome! 🙂
