Apple Watch duplicate devices listed in health app data access & devices

Sounds like a good plan. I’ll go through my settings for my watch and phone as you explained and clean up the mess I obviously created. Thanks for your reply to help me straighten this out.

Edit: sorry, one more question about that. Why is the info for health in the device show ‘this Apple Watch is no longer paired with this iPhone’ ? Will this change when If I remove the other iPhone? Thanks

Just to make sure that I understand. I had an iPhone 6s when I purchased my Apple Watch series 5 a year and a half ago and purchased an iPhone 13 last January. The Health Data was posting. Since there didn’t appear to be any problems, I don’t think I went as far into the settings for Data Access & Devices. Deleting the iPhone 6s makes sense but wouldn’t that still leave in the Settings: Health: Data: Data Access & Devices: one Apple Watch - ‘no data found’, the other Apple Watch showing health data that says ‘This Apple Watch is no longer paired with this iPhone’, one iPhone - no data found and the other iPhone showing health data? I hope what I’ve listed from Settings makes sense. I’m really hoping that it isn’t necessary to delete all of my health data for the last year and a half if it’s just an error of some kind when looking at the settings and devices listed. I have included the screenshots if I could have reduced the size of the photo. If you would like for me to send them just let me know. Thanks so much for reply.

Thanks, I found a way to get my Apple Watch paired to my iPhone 13 and unpaired from the iPhone 6s.

on support.apple.com there are instructions for -‘ unpair and erase apple watch’. I didn’t lose any health data. The process backups the watch to the iPhone and restores it to the phone you want to pair it to again.

thanks again for you help, it is greatly appreciated
