Hello Sobadd01,


This article that was linked to your posting explains more about how this process works: Share your Activity and compete with friends with your Apple Watch - Apple Support. It explains how to check your friend's progress here:


  1. "Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Swipe to the Sharing screen. 
  3. Tap your friend, then scroll to see their progress."


As long as your friend's watch is functional, they've agreed to share the competition info with you and they are connected to a network, you should be able to see the updates very quickly. Specifically, the article offers this information:

If you don't get updates about your friend's activity
As long as your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you're signed in to iCloud, you can get updates about your friend's activity each day. If your iPhone can't connect for multiple days or you sign out of iCloud, you might see missing days.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all. Take care.
