First thing is are you really setting up your new iPhone with a new Apple ID You will lose all your Apple iCloud assets including purchases, photos, and calendar etc.


Either way you need to gain access to your old Apple ID and password because you will need that combination to free off the Watch in https://icloud.com/find .
