Connecting Activity app on iPhone and iwatch5

My activity app on iPhone says "to use the app on your iPhone, first set up activity on your Apple Watch".

My watch says "to start sharing activity , use the activity app on your iPhone." How do I get them to work with one another? I can't get either end to let me do anything.

Activity App on New Phone I got a new phone and now the activity app for my Apple Watch on my phone says to set up activity on my watch. I have already set it up in my watch. I don’t know how to connect them or let the app on my phone know that it’s already set up

Activity sharing not working between iPhone and Apple Watch I can find the Sharing screen on the Watch in the Activity App. It says to start sharing - use the Activity App on the phone. I assume this is referring to the Activity App setting inside the Watch App? Everything is turned on. Way isn't it connecting? How can I force them to see each other? Other things like email, messages, camera etc. are all working so I know the watch and phone are connected. My husband has this set up and his works and I've compared the two but for some reason mine isn't working... The FITNESS App on the phone is stuck on the intro screen - "to use the app on your phone first set up Activity on the Apple Watch...." So there is both a Fitness App and Activity App that's not quite right at the moment.
