Hi Paul, If you have an Apple Watch unpair it from your phone before you back up your phone. This will ensure that all watch data is backed up.
Then connect your phone to your computer and choose Transfer Purchases to make sure all your purchases are on your computer. Now do an encrypted backup so you get your passwords, health data, and Homekit data if you use Homekit included in your backup. When you set up your new phone, choose to restore from iTunes. Connect your phone to your computer when prompted, and choose the most recent backup, which should be selected by default. That should do it.
