First time I'm upgrading AW devices from AW8 to 10.
Paired successfully then started the setup wizard. Only had the option to setup as new watch or restore from backup. But the backup was very old as I don't backup my phone via iCloud

Called Apple and turns out there is no way to do a watch to watch data transfer - I have to backup via iCloud first. Annoying part is I don't have enough iCloud space with the free 5gb tier and have to upgrade to the 50gb tier first to start the back up to eventually restore from a recent backup to the new AW10.

Not user friendly at all Apple!
