I'm terrible with technology. Truly. My iPhone 13 decided to off itself last month so I had to get a new one. I don't even know what it is. I think a 17 SE. I don't care. As long as I can text and make calls on it I'm fine.
It took me a couple of weeks to notice that my Apple Watch wasn't synced to it. I wasn't getting texts or calls or much of anything on the watch. I finally got around to trying to deal with that yesterday. The University of Google said that I needed to clear the watch in order to pair it with a new phone. The idea of "clearing" it made me nervous but I just went with it.
It worked! I did it! The watch is now paired with the new iPhone. I impressed myself. I was sure I was going to have to get my ex to deal with it. I guess Apple is now just really dumbing stuff down so the non-tech people can deal with these issues.

I had this problem when my phone was replaced last Christmas. My Apple Watch was a gift a few years ago as the kids wanted me to have it for the health options it has. I was looking up how to synch it to the new phone and my youngest so snatched it up and had it synched before I knew what was happening.
