Apple Watch iCloud Backup

[philipk]

I have done a search and didn't find a discussion on backups.

Does anyone know if the Apple Watch settings get saved with the daily iPhone iCloud backups?

Yes they do, I had to reset my watch, and it asked me weather I wanted to restore from a backup or set up as a new watch

Apple Watch content backs up automatically to your paired iPhone, and you can restore it from a stored backup. Apple Watch backups are included as part of your iPhone backups to iCloud or iTunes, but you can’t view information in the backups in iCloud.

Backing up and restoring Apple Watch. When paired with an iPhone, Apple Watch content is backed up continuously to iPhone. If you unpair the devices, a backup is performed first. If you repair Apple Watch or get a new one, you can choose Restore from Backup and select a stored backup on your iPhone.

I missed that. Thank you!

I wish that Apple would let you download the whole Apple Watch guide as a PDF. It is easier for me to read than on line.

Thanks for catching it.

FYI, You can download the manual for free in iBooks.
