Apple Watch not tracking activity first thing in the morning

my watch stopped tracking activity first thing the morning. I saw someone posted this same problem and I was wondering if anybody found a solution.


I wonder if my devices are getting confused and assuming that I want to track activity with my phone instead of watch.


this issue is getting worse and it’s really annoying.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 9

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.
