Various Apple Watch issues - not syncing activities to iPhone; won't unlock Mac; no GPS of activities

Hi


My Apple Watch 4 has just recently encountered a few issues all at once. My activities no longer show my route (e..g when I was running). Just shows where I started. Activities have stopped syncing to iPhone (XS). I can see the activity in my watch, and iPhone has go the same exercise minutes/calories burned etc - but doesn't show that I have completed an activity. This has been all activities for the last few days. Also, my watch has stopped unlocking my Mac? I have gone through all the checks to ensure they are synced etc. Airplane mode isn't on. Bluetooth and Wifi all in order. Tried unpairing and re-pairing my watch. Hasn't helped. Has anyone got other suggestions - or is this a wider software issue?

OK, so just done all of that. Hasn't corrected any of the missing info. Watch still won't open my Mac. Will be exercising tomorrow so will see if it syncs it. Really disappointing as its the main reason I have the Apple Watch. Makes me nervous about wasting money upgrading to the Series 6. Pretty loyal to Apple but its annoying when the simple basics don't work.
