If you’re considering unpairing your Apple Watch, it’s important to understand what will happen to the data stored on it.

Before unpairing your Apple Watch, we recommend taking a few extra steps to ensure that all of your data is backed up in case something goes wrong during the process. You can back up data such as health information by syncing with iCloud or iTunes before proceeding with unpairing. Additionally, if you have an Apple Pay account associated with your watch, make sure that all accounts have been removed before proceeding with erasing all content and settings from the device.

Unpairing an Apple Watch is a straightforward process but it’s important to understand what will happen when doing so in order to make sure that no data is lost in the process.
