Passing on phone paired to watch

[Bri16]

I have an I watch 7 paired to my contract. 

question is I want to sell my phone a few weeks before my upgrade is due 

if I erase the I phone to sell it will my watch still work while I wait for new phone

@Bri16 no it won’t as you’re going to need to unpair it from your phone to factory reset your phone.

Morning @Bri16

Thanks for coming here 🙂

If you want to pair your new upgrade to your Apple Watch a later date, you can find help in our How do I pair my Apple Watch with my iPhone, article. 

Thanks.
