I bought a new iPhone 14 PRO and transferred service to the new phone - I accidentally erased my old phone before verifying my Apple Watch was paired with my new phone. How do I pair the watch now without my old phone?
Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
I suggest erasing the watch and setting it up as new with the new iPhone. If you have a backup of the watch you can restore the watch to the backup.

Thank you … this is what I had to do.
How do I know if my new iPhone is paired with my old Apple Watch?
