Fitness App

I have had the Fitness app set up on my watch for a while now but it is not allowing me to view it on my Iphone. It let's me open the app but says it needs to be set up on my watch first (which it is). What are my next steps?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

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.
