Hi there Serubin00,


We're happy to provide some information. To make sure that your Apple Watch is syncing your fitness and health data, follow these steps:


If Health doesn’t track steps or other information, try these steps:
1. Open the Health app.
2. Tap your profile , then tap Devices. 
3. Tap your Apple Watch.
4. Tap Privacy Settings and make sure that Fitness Tracking is turned on.


You can add other apps that are compatible with Health using these steps:


Find apps that are compatible with Health
1. Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
2. Tap a category, like Heart. 
3. Tap a subcategory, like Heart Rate.
4. Scroll down to the apps recommended for that category, then tap an app to learn about and download it. 
5. Go back to your privacy settings in the Health app to allow that app to read or write data in the Health app. 
You decide what information goes into the Health app and which apps can get your information from Health. Apps that access HealthKit must have a privacy policy. Review an app's privacy policy before allowing access to your health and fitness information.

You'll find those steps and more information here: Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Take care.
