Has anyone paired 2 watches to 1 phone?

I have a Space Black. Just ordered a Gold Sport for a different look. No one needs 2 watches. Some people like to accessorize for different occasions. It is a fashion accessory after all. Many poeple had 2 or more watches before Apple entered the market.
Anyway looks like on Thursday I can pair a 2nd watch to my phone.
BTW, does it transver the move/exercise/stand data between the watches when you switch from wearing one to the other?

I guess some people like to wear an Apple Watch stainless steel for work but a lighter Sport for working out.
You can also keep one Watch charged all the time. I wish the reverse was possible (1 watch synced to 2 iPhone).
Someone at reddit managed to pair more than two Apple Watches:

I thought of another reason for a 2nd watch too. I use mine a lot and it needs to be charged more nights than it does not. But can't it also help track your sleep patterns? Having a 2nd will let me switch at bed time and wear it while I am sleeping.
Yeah, I'm a data who__.

This is exactly why I have 2 watches and was so happy when Apple added this to watchOS 2.2.
I gold plated my 1st one, a few months later I bought another SS on eBay. Sometimes I wear gold jewelry, other times silver. I updated my iPhone to 9.3 yesterday, then updated watch #1 to 2.2. When I attempted to pair watch #2 to my iPhone, I kept getting message saying that the watch needed to be updated to 2.2. When I tried to get the update, it wouldn't download, wheel just kept spinning. I finally paired watch #2 w/my husband's iPhone>updated it to 2.2>unpaired it>then paired it to my iPhone. This process worked. My iPhone identifies which watch I put on each time I change watches.
Do things like the activity/stand rings update from one Watch to the other? I am really hoping so.
I have a SS AW and have considered someday getting a colored metal sport watch so can see that being a nice possibility.
Yes, when I go to my activity rings for March on my iPhone, using Apple Watch #2 (which I haven't used for months), all my activity rings are showing up. They are showing up for all months that I was wearing my Apple Watch #1, on my Apple Watch #2, if that makes sense.
Yes, I understand.
Can anyone confirm though that you could wear a Sport for an AM workout, then switch to a SS and wear it all day and the combined results will show up on either watch?
I.e. Sport would have only 1 or 2 stand hours but lost of active calories and lots of exercise minutes.
SS would record many more stand hours and more ative/exercise plus presumably many more steps.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but I tried an experiment this morning. I put on watch #1 & did normal exercises this am, then switched to watch #2 & checked the activity rings on it. They matched the ones that were on watch #1 before I removed it. No loss of stand/move/exercise or calories burned, steps taken, etc. Watch #2 continues to record my activities. Hope this answers your question.
Exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks!
And my 2nd watch just arrived an hour ago. I updated it to 2.2 and it is now pairing with my phone.
