Watch activity lost?

I had an iPhone X and Apple Watch series 4. The watch has cellular activated. I jumped in the pool with the iPhone X on accident. It’s dead. I decided to just use the Apple Watch until the new phones come out. A couple months later a friend offered an old iPhone 6 to borrow until I get a new one. I went to pair my watch with the phone and it seems I have to erase the watch to pair it. I’m concerned that I will lose all The activity data from when my iPhone X broke and now. Is there a way I can save that activity data on the watch so it’s not lost?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

That’s sad to hear. I plan to buy a new phone when they come out. When I do, is there a way to pair it with that new phone so that I don’t lose all the activity data between when I broke the iPhone X and when I buy a new phone?

Normally you would need to unpair it from the old iPhone and then pair it to the new one or, in your case, pair with the new phone which you would set up from the backup you made of your old phone. The problem is you won't be able to back up all of your data from now until you get a new iPhone. You might want to consult with a Tier 2 Apple support person to see if they know of any workaround or look for a used iPhone SE or 6s to use in the interim.

You will not be able to pair that watch with an iPhone 6, you have to have an iPhone that runs iOS 13.x.
