I'm getting a new series 3 Apple Watch but I am keeping my original also. When I pair my new watch to my iPhone 7 Plus, will it transfer all the info from my original watch? Thank you!

Your Watch transfers it's info to the phone, and the phone transfers info back to watches.

But I've found that Watch faces made on one Watch don't transfer to another. There may be other instances of that as well.

Thanks. Guess I will know for sure on Friday when I pick up my new watch!

I've noticed that. Every face has to be customized for each watch. Otherwise, everything else seems identical.

Correct. Not transferring Watch faces could be a boon or bust for some people. On the one hand I have faces that I want on every Watch. On the other, it's nice to have a Watch with specific faces for specific use cases without scrolling through a ton of faces. Despite being a bit of inconvenience, not transferring is better for me than transferring.
