iPhone Fitness app and Apple Watch Activity app not syncing

Neither my phone nor watch have been tracking activity (especially ‘outdoor walking’) since the updates on iPhone and Apple Watch. I have had multiple conversations with Apple tech people, and I have backed-up and restarted both my phone and watch multiple times. This seems like a ridiculous inconvenience for customers (like me) who have paid $250+ for watches to track their activities, calories, etc and now (since OS7 update) they don’t work. Today I took a 65 min walk, and the Watch credited me with 6 minutes (I’ve had similar issues over each of the last ~5 days). Ridiculous. Seems like non-Apple products would be a better option? Glad mine is still covered by AppleCare...

I don't think that re-pairing and wiping my phone will help in any way - the problem started with my Watch Series 3 on 6.x as soon as I updated to iOS 14 and it persisted once I moved to my new Watch Series 6. Also all older workouts are gone from the Fitness App, so the culprit is either the App itself or some weird iOS14 bug. Highly annoying...

Ditto here.

I didn't notice right away, but I just walked again this morning and the "Distance" walks do not register as a workout. The "open" walks seem to be logging. Also, all my heart rate graphs for walks have disappeared and so has the map.

Additionally, the stand hours graph is not displaying.

The exercise minutes, stand hours are updating.

This is very frustrating as I love the badges and now I have lost my perfect workout week...

I’m having the same problem and am pretty bummed that I have to start all over with my longest move streak because of this. I was on 265 days and that’s all lost now. I don’t get how my activity showed normal on my husbands watch and phone but not on my own. Hope when this is truly fixed I get back what I actually did.

‘it does register again as of this morning after I updated my watch but am not sure if it will keep it up

Just as an update - the iMazing backup actually restored all my badges until yesterday. All activities for today so far are lost, but at least my achievements for the last 2.5 years are back.

Still, I'm back to square one as all my old workout maps are still missing...

Exactly the same happened to me as well - all badges were gone after the restore (I was close tossing my watch and phone out of the window)..

Thank god I had another backup made with a 3rd party tool - I restored from there and all my badges were back. Didn't change anything on the other problems, though.

In addition to stand data being inaccurate, the cycling data is also inaccurate. While it is being captured on the Apple Watch correctly, it is not transferring to Activity or Health. I am also suspect of the heart rate data as it is wildly erratic. I have reset, unpaired and repaired, but nothing seems to fix. That did fix a quick battery drain issue.

When will this be fixed? I was, I'll admit it, a Fitbit user until they couldn't make it work after an Apple iOS update. I bought the watch thinking that I'd be good with all Apple products. I'm frustrated. It's been over a week, with updates on iOS and the watch, and it still doesn't work. Please, Apple! Fix this problem!

Have series 4 and now That's very annoying with the last update, just provide a way to roll back to last stable version!

Since updated to last version Watch came to regular digital watch and the workout apps are useless, some running Walker activities are not been saved and but shows the calories. No route map, no been sync with another tracker app like Relive. Once ask you to choose the calories per week will show it as per day and not able to change it later.

Same issue here. Activities from 3rd party apps (Strava) seem to work just fine. But none of the apple activities from the watch will sync. Wonder if it’s specific to certain watch models? I have a Series 4 Cellular.

To avoid the same I have started keeping my iPhone firmly in my hand while stopping an workout and so far each and every workout has been logged on iPhone activity app. This is a crude way but that’s wat apple wants us to do and pay the sin of spending so much of money on their products

Update, so you know you're not alone with this:

Watch-update 7.0.2 did not solve my issues with work-out syncing between apple watch and iPhone activities app... This morning the work-out (started and stopped on watch, with iPhone left at home) failed to show up as a work-out in the iPhone activities app, though some activity data does appear on the health app.

:(

So I had the issue of workouts not showing up and nothing with the GPS/map data and heart rate data. So I did the process that Apple published and NOW the workouts are showing up by my rings are completely frozen. Nothing is changing, I went for a 2 mile work during lunch and the rings are in the same place as before the walk, but the walk is recorded as a workout. Any thoughts?????

I'm having all sorts of problems too. I've got workouts missing between watch and iPhone app, and just the last couple of days Activity app is telling me it hasn't got enough heart rate readings in my workouts, despite me checking throughout my workouts and it always having a reading! On top of that, Apple Health app and Activity app have been about 5000 steps out of sync for the last couple of days... I checked all the data sources in the Health app and it looks like my watch is only reporting a fraction of the steps that I've done and that show up in the Activity app?

Bit relieved to hear others are having this issue and it's likely a bug in the OS, but still pretty infuriating!

Same. Workouts are synching inconsistently. One day the summary syncs to the iPhone, the next day it doesn’t. History shows there was activity but you don’t get any details. And the map function in “hiking” is now only showing the start location, not the completed route.
