Activity App on watch not syncing with iPhone 13 Pro

Can anyone help. I recently upgraded my iPhone 11 to IPhone 13 Pro. Everything synced with ease except the activity app on my watch. The watch still records correctly all activity, (steps, rewards, badges etc). But it isn’t showing on the app on the phone? I’ve reset both my watch & phone & can’t understand why it isn’t? Also I had a separate steps app which I’ve just deleted as it’s doing the same thing? Pics attached.

Check your personal details are correct in your health app profile.

Make sure the watch band is snug but not too tight.

On your iPhone, go to Settings, then tap on Privacy and then select Location Services option and ensure that it is enabled.

On the Location Services section, tap on System Services and then toggle the Motion Calibration & Distance option to enable it.

Then go back to the Home Screen of your iPhone and launch the Watch app.

Then,tap on My Watch option, then tap on Privacy and toggle the Heart Rate option to enable it.

Go back to My Watch section, then tap on Passcode, and toggle the Wrist Detection option to enable it.


Finally, go back to My Watch section, then tap on Workout, and make sure Power Saving mode is disabled. If enabled,turn it off.
