Perfect week all rings closed - the Smokey rings are gone

I got a series 6 watch and now when I have a perfect week for 1, 2 or all 3 rings, the Smokey rings animation doesn’t show up. Why is that and does anyone else have this problem? All I get is a text alert that I had a perfect week. It’s rather disappointing. Also wouldn’t it be great if the first time you checked you checked your rings after closing something the animation played - whether daily or weekly. One misses the animation frequently and they are so great and motivating.

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 just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
