I just purchased an Apple Watxh 3. I own an Apple Watch (older model Sports series). When I switch watches, will I lose all my workout info?
Apple Watch, iOS 11.2.5
Hi
No, you will not.
Historic Health and Activity data - including from workouts - is stored on your paired iPhone, not on your Apple Watch.
Follow the instructions here to unpair your old Apple Watch (which will include syncing your current day's Activity data to your iPhone) and then pair your new Apple Watch. The current day's Activity progress will be retained regardless of the time of day at which you carry out the process:
Be sure to unpair via the Watch app whilst your devices are connected via Bluetooth. In addition to erasing the old Apple Watch, this will remove Activation Lock, leaving your old watch ready for a new user to set up as their own:

If preferred, you can keep both watches paired to your iPhone, switching between them as and when you wish. Activity data will also sync between them as you do so (only one Apple Watch can be active at any given time):

I have an older apple watch, I just purchased an Apple Watch 3, will I lose my data from my previous watch when I switch. I don't want to lose my workouts
