Device(s) under Health app when pair Apple Watch Series 5

[tcuphk]

I purchased apple watch series 5 recently, and set up as usual in my iPhone (iOS 13.1.2). After completion, there are two same name devices under "Health app", while one is paired and another one is unpaired. I changed the watch's name in "Setting" > "General" under watchos 6, and it would change the name of "paired" watch. However, the name of "unpaired" watch does not follow. Besides, my fitness data is captured under "unpaired" watch, and "paired" watch remains empty fitness data.

Try to unpair and pair the watch again, and no luck. I think it is software bug, and not sure it has been fixed in iOS 13.1.3 and watchos 6.0.1.

I am using Apple Watch series 4 and cannot find the currently paired watch in device list, even though all data are still recorded properly from the watch. I guess this is a bug regarding how iOS deals with device pairing and identifier thing.

I have it too. It is probably a bug. Don’t get concerned as long as the data gets properly recorded. Even if it never gets solved. as long as the data gets properly recorded.

I have the same problem - and I have a feeling that some of my complications are not getting updated because of it. Watch S4 watch os 6.1

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but if you deleted any of those devices then you would also lose the associated health/active data too.

strange the "paired" (empty fitness data) one could link up watch app by a privacy setup button. I tried to delete it without issue since the data is under "unpaired" one.

anyway, wait to see future updates.
