[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1833829, member: 396914"] There really isn't a watch backup. What is kept is the configuration of the watch (what is installed, what faces, etc) that is currently paired with the iPhone. None of the data on the watch is kept in the backup AFAIK, just the configuration. That sort of makes sense when you figure that you really don't have much data on the watch, just apps, or downloaded podcasts, music, etc. And what is there is stored as the configuration of the watch in the iPhone backup. So when you get a new iPhone, you unpair the watch, then restore the backup to the iPhone and pair the watch and voila! you are done. You have to pair the watch anyway, so all it really adds is the time to copy back the apps, music, podcasts, etc, to the Watch. [/QUOTE]
