My Apple Watch (Series 6) is not reporting workout activity to my phone. It ALWAYS does! This is the first time it has not. My activity on the phone says 0 in all rings while my watch is recording normally. How do I fix this?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
