Rob Richman bought a 38mm Apple Watch, spent some time with it, then had a bit of buyer’s remorse. He swapped it out for a 42mm model. From his post on Opinion8td:
I knew when I put it on my wrist that while it looked great and fitted me well that the touch screen was just a bit too fiddly for my liking and immediately placed an order for the 42mm White Sports version with a June dispatch date. I deliberately chose this option due to my feeling that the Space Grey could take longer to get to me and the Blue model could also be in short supply with it being offered to some developers.
Rob got lucky and his watch shipped quickly. Once he had the new one, he had to figure out how to get his data from his old watch to his new one. Here’s Rob’s take on what he did:
If you ever need to get a new Apple Watch or a replacement here’s how to restore it.
Unpair your previous Apple Watch (this also provides an instant Backup)
When you set up the new device it gives you the option to pick from one of the latest backups.
Pick the backup you want to restore from and let iCloud do its magic and you’re good to go.
Pretty much what you’d expect, given Apple’s experience with iPhone backup and restore. Just thought some of you might be wondering how all this works.
