Hi BettsyBlade

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Congratulations on the new Watch Ultra.


Wondering if you want to keep both watches, they can both be paired to the iPhone:


Apple Support's article: Set up and pair your Apple Watch Ultra with iPhone – Apple Support

also gives all the info.on switching been Watches.


(Only one Apple Watch can be active at a time... more info in the article linked below.)

Re: Don’t want lose any of my data or stuff ?


The Watch data is generally back up to iPhone.

also: Unpairing a Watch backs up its data to iPhone.

The back-up data can then be restored if required,


If you want to erase the old Watch:

All the best :-)
