I have the Series 3 watch and want to update the OS, however, I only have enough room if I delete my fitness data from the watch. Will I lose my string of closed fitness loops or does that information continue to live on my iPhone? Can it be restored to the watch after the OS update? I don't want to lose my string of closed rings which goes back to early March 2018.
You should unpair and then re-pair your Apple Watch.
Unpair and update your Apple Watch
next to the watch that you want to unpair. Next, set up your Apple Watch with your iPhone. When asked whether you want to set up as new or restore from a backup, choose to set up as new. Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish setup. If you want to update to the watchOS beta, reinstall the beta profile after setup is complete.
Finally, update your Apple Watch.
Restore from backup
If you want to restore your Apple Watch from its latest backup, follow the steps in the previous section to unpair it again. Then set up your watch once more with your iPhone. This time, choose to restore from backup rather than set up as new.
