Hi

I did search this, but couldn’t find a definitive answer anywhere, so wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience.

I’m looking to change my iPhone soon, and want to start with a fresh iOS install as I’ve been migrating from backups for years now and there are a few bugs which I think keep getting transferred over. One thing I don’t want to lose however is my Apple Watch Activity data and awards.

It seems Health data is stored in iCloud, does this include Activity & awards? If I sign in to my iCloud account on a new iPhone, will they just pop up when I pair a watch?

Thank you for any answers in advance!
 
Mine carried over, I have health selected for iCloud sync.

Great - is that even when not restoring from an iCloud backup, just logging in to iCloud afresh?
I am fairly certain, I did a clean install on my phone and watch set them both up as new phone/watch, went on a 1 mile run, then did another restore, and reinstalled from an older backup and the one mile run was there.
