Just got my iPhone 11 Pro a few hours ago and did an iCloud and iTunes backup of my old phone, Xs Max. I also unpaired my S4 Apple Watch, since I thought that was the correct way to go about it, so I could re-pair with the new phone. Once I got everything setup, when I am looking in the Health app on my iPhone under devices, I see "this apple watch is no longer paired with this iphone". I see what I guess is my "old" watch, which isn't really an old watch, I guess it's the backup or something that carried over from the iCloud backup.. anyhow, the device that says "this apple watch is no longer paired with this iphone" seems
to be the one that is tracking activity, the other one isn't tracking anything now.
I had this same issue when I was running the WatchOS and iOS Betas, and chalked it up to it being that -- I ended up using another watch, which had 5.x whatever on it with iOS 13 and it paired and showed just fine, meaning it didn't show the "this apple watch is no longer paired with this iphone" message. I've found some old threads on Apple's forums but none seem to help.
I've unpaired and re-paired the watch and it still shows the "this apple watch is no longer paired with this iphone". Any ideas how to fix this? I am posting to both the iOS 13 forum and WatchOS for maximum exposure, since I'm not sure which OS is the cause, if either. If anyone can help me figure it out I'd appreciate it. Thanks. BTW I am running stock iOS 13.0, not the 13.1 beta.
