iPhone iOS 13, Apple Watch and going back to iOS 12

[Samantha124]

So I recently got an Apple Watch a few days ago. I got the public beta but decided to go back to iOS 12. I restored my phone today. I didn’t realize I needed to backup my Apple Watch so I lost all my rings being closed and whatnot. What I don’t understand is it shows all my data in the health app but it’s not really syncing and adding it back. It just kind of shows the data if I search. Should I chalk it up as lesson learned or is there a way to get it back to where it was?

I think you are out of luck. Hopefully, someone will chime to tell me I am wrong.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. It just bugs me because the data is theoretically there haha

Well if you have Health syncing with iCloud (check iCloud settings), then yes the data will come back to the watch, it just takes time for it to show up.

Oh ok, yes I do/did have health syncing on in iCloud. I downgraded because I have a vacation coming up and the Disney app just crashes. Otherwise I loved iOS 13.

Ok so hopefully it does show back up. I had toyed with this when I had gotten my Apple Watch Series 3 and my iPhone X. I still had my Series 2 and iPhone 7 and wanted to see how well that worked. It really did take a day for all my achievements and rings to transfer over. Mind you, I had Health data from all the way back to June 2015 when I got my first Apple Watch. I'm still on that iPhone X and Series 3 SS as neither the Series 4 or the XS presented enough for me to upgrade

Yeah I hope it does. I am new to the watch, amazon had a really good deal on the series 3, so I went ahead and jumped on it. I haven’t had it long so I’ll see if everything eventually updates. I didn’t realize that the watch backs up with the phone. I never backed up anything while on iOS 13.
