I have an Apple Watch paired to an iPhone that was robbed, now I want to pair it with a new iPhone but without erasing or losing the data in the Apple Watch (it isn’t in iCloud). What can I do?

Hi AYohann05
Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: "Pairing Apple Watch to new iPhone without the old one and without losing data"
Sorry to hear you were robbed of your iPhone.
Seems the only way to un-pair a Watch from a phone you no longer have, is to erase the Watch. I may be wrong.
Wondering if Apple support's online article (link below) may be at all helpful:
As it is a new phone to the Watch:
How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support
If needed: Watch Support website (info. / support / contact)
Eg: There is a "Get Support" link (online chat / phone / email / etc.) or an app you can download:

Hi Sunnyintoronto123. ... This is AYohann05's thread, the topic is about his situation.
Your new topic should be posted as a new thread via " Ask the Community" above.
However: How to: Back up your Apple Watch - Apple Support may help
Well, I was able at least to recover the photos I had in favourites and featured (since I could see those on my watch) by sharing them, but I guess for the rest I'll just have to erase my Watch. Thank you anyways!
:)
Does iTunes capable of backup Watch database?
Thank you kindly for your reply, AYohann05. Cheers :-)
