Set up as new watch - will I lose Health/Activity data?

[jon08]

I just got a brand new AW4. Previously I had AW3 and did quite a few workouts with it. I've unpaired my AW3 now I'm being asked if I'd like to Restore From Backup or Set Up As New Watch.

If I set up my AW4 as "new watch", will I lose my previous Health/Activity data that was synced to iPhone while I was using AW3?

You can set it up as new and you will not loose any of the previous Health/Activity data synched to your iPhone. Once it's on iPhone it's not going anywhere. If you set it up as new, you'll need to adjust the settings of the AW4 as they will be set to default and install the apps you'd like on your watch.
