Are you setting up your Series 6 as new? Your thoughts...

[edlex]

I’m not getting mine until Oct. 2nd at the earliest so it gives me time to plan how to set it up. My Series 4 has been having some weird battery draining issues lately along with reminders not syncing with my 11 pro max since launch so I am definitely considering starting fresh as a new watch.

What are you guys doing and why?...

I'll probably just use my iCloud backup for continuity with my Series 2 and all of the Fitness badges I've accumulated.

Transferring my data over. Not doing it as new.

Nope, just transfer from my existing watch. No point to me of setting it up again.

I've never done anything as a new device (except obviously the first of a device type). I've been a Mac user since 2006 (2 upgrades), iPhone since 2011 (4 upgrades), Watch since 2018 (1 upgrade). Every device upgrade, and the occasional warranty replacement (this happened 2 or 3 times) has been restoring from my previous backup. Never had a single problem. I don't understand the "start over" obsession some people seem to have.
