If I setup iPhone as new can I still restore Apple Watch?

[Risco]

I want to set my iPhone up as new. But I don’t want to lose Apple Watch data.

If I set my iPhone up as new, can I still restore my Apple Watch data?

I’m worry not,
Watch backups are stored in the phone, you can see them in the Settings app :
General > iPhone Storage > Watch
From there, you can only delete, but unfortunately not export
Unless you find a sw tool that allows that.. if so let us know.

You need a computer with iTunes, and some kind of iPhone backup extractor:

I don't know if any of them lets you extract watch backup for free. I was using one of these apps to do something else, and noticed it had an extract watch backup function, but I don't remember if it was for free or which one it was.

I ended up setting up as new, made sure health was backed up and all my health data came back fine.

Workouts will come back, they are stored in your iCloud health data and will eventually sync back but can take a lot of time if you have been using it a long time.
