Apple watch and Apple TV disconnect

Since the latest Apple watch update, Fitness app on my Apple TV has trouble finding and maintaining a connection with my Apple watch. I have to bring my wrist right up to the Apple TV for the watch to initially be recognized, and if I don’t stay within a few feet during the workout the Apple TV loses the watch connection.

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.
