Free unlimited Apple Watch data when getting a new Apple Watch

Hello guys.
I have a question that I wondered if someone could answer for me please.

I'm planning on moving onto one of the All Rounder sim only plans in the next couple of months. I noticed that these plans come with the unlimited watch data plan included in with the monthly price.

My question is:
I am planning on getting a new Apple Watch (assuming there will be one released later in the year) and I will be selling my old Apple Watch. I was wondering will I be able to re-add the free unlimited data plan on to my new Apple Watch and continue having the unlimited watch data free for the remaining time of the 2 year All Rounder plan.

Also, is there anything I need to do before unpairing my old Apple Watch, with regards to having the plan continue working/and me not be charged the £7 per month charge that otherwise applies when not on one of the applicable plans.

Thanks.

@Fatboy71   Hi how are you ?    
 
 when you unpair the watch you be asked “do you want to keep the data plan”.  Just select yes and setup the new watch you’ll then get the option to add the data plan.  
 
 You can actually test this now with your current watch just unpair it and then go through the process of adding back.   Thats if you want to spend around 30mins to an hour doing this.  lol.

@Fatboy71 , Apple have just released the new Apple Watch last Autumn, so will not be releasing a new one until the Autumn, and yes you can just add the new one, but unpair the old one first with no problems.

Brilliant @Schockwave thanks so much for the help. 

Just for future reference, before I start the unpairing process, do I need to choose keep plan or remove it?

@Fatboy71 , a @Chris_B ,has written when unpairing and it asks you to keep the plan, press keep the plan.
