Backup procedures of Apple Watch band are somewhat trickier in comparison to the iPhone backups. It is because the upgrades happen automatically and are immediately saved on the iPhone with which the Apple Watch is paired. However, there is no place in the Settings section where a user can manually back up the Apple Watch or see details about the last automatic backup. In such a case, it becomes difficult for the user to relate to the new features.

- Conduct a fresh backup of the iPhone with the iCloud or iTunes service.
- Open the Watch app located on the iPhone to initiate the pairing process.
- Power on the new Apple Watch and scrutinize for the pairing sphere code. Once you get it, follow the prompts.
- When prompted, choose to ‘restore’ the new Apple Watch from a backup time and select the most recent one.
