Iphone, Non-Encrypted backup, watch unpaired, new iphone HELP!

Hi All,

I have an iphone 7plus and apple watch paired together. I recently purchased an iphone x and did the following to migrate to iphone x:

Backed-up iPhone (non-encrypted)

Backed-up Apple Watch

Restored iphone x based on backed up iphone profile

Paired Apple Watch with iphone x

I have not yet wiped my iphone 7plus.

Now, I do not have my achievements in my activity app anymore. Are there any possible work-arounds that I might be able to employ to retrieve at least my achievements that I have earned?

Please help!

WATCH SERIES 2(ALUM) 38MM (2ND GEN), iOS 11.3.1

Activity, Health, and Keychain data (To back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)

You can disable it once the data is sync over.

Can I go back and do it given that the apple watch is now paired with the newer iphone and has zilch listed in activity (even though I have an apple-watch backup pre-new phone and I have my previous iphone backed up via itunes?)

One last thing. Will this work even if the iphone 7 plus currently doesn't not have all the activity information in the activity app?

Would I need to just 're-pair' the apply watch to the iphone 7+, and restore the apple-watch from it's back-up,

then do everything listed that you provided?

Unfortunately that didn't work. The issue appears to be that the iPhone 7 didn't have the health-data or activity on it anymore once i unpaired my apple watch from it and paired with the new one. Any other possible solutions?

You can start again (don't forget your encrypted password!)

1. Unpaired your Watch

2. Make a new encrypted iPhone 7 Plus backup.

3. Restore iPhone X from iPhone 7 Plus backup.

4. Pair you Watch with X

Unless you have a backup, if not then no.
