How to track steps on an Apple Watch?

I have an Apple Watch which I use mainly for cycling and don't wear otherwise.


I still would like to track my steps in Fitness app with my iPhone like I used to do before I purchased the Apple Watch. Now after purchasing the Apple Watch the Fitness app is empty if I don't wear the Apple Watch. Weird thing is that the Health app tracks my steps (via iPhone) but those are not synced to the Fitness app.


Is there a way to track the steps with Fitness app in a case when you own an Apple Watch but don't wear it all the time?
