Cardio Fitness doesn't have Apple Watch as a data source

I update my iphone and apple watch yesterday. But the cardio fitness says no data. When I checked I noticed that it does not have any datasources. My Apple Watch was not added automatically. I cannot find a way to add it manually as well. What can be done?

I thought of unpairing and pairing again. But then it will not have my previous data right?

The cardiofittness function needs the heartbeat and the distance to determine a value. If the energy saving mode is activated for training in the watch settings, no heart rate is recorded. Therefore deactivate the settings in training / energy saving mode in the Apple Watch APP on the iPhone. Then check in the iPhone settings whether the GPS mode is activated for training settings / privacy / location services / training sessions. You can then reset the calibration of the watch in the watch app on the iPhone under Privacy. Now you need to exercise outdoors for at least 20 minutes while walking or running. This is required for recalibration. It is also possible that values ​​under Cardio are only displayed after several training sessions. The cardio fitness function only works outdoors because otherwise the GPS data for the distance is missing. No cardio data is recorded for indoor training, e.g. steppers or yoga.
