Back up and restore AppleWatch
Back up your AppleWatch: When paired with an iPhone, AppleWatch content is backed up continuously to the iPhone. If you unpair the devices, a backup is performed first.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Back up your AppleWatch.
Restore your AppleWatch from a backup: If you pair your AppleWatch with the same iPhone again, or get a new AppleWatch, you can choose Restore from Backup and select a stored backup on your iPhone.
An AppleWatch thats managed for a family member backs up directly to the family members iCloud account when the watch is connected to power and a Wi-Fi network. To disable iCloud backups for that watch, go to the Settings app 
[] on the managed AppleWatch, tap [account name], tap iCloud, tap iCloud Backups, then turn off iCloud Backups.
