Can’t Use Apple Fitness after unpairing Apple Watch

I was recently informed that I could use the Fitness app now can give you the Move ring, even without an Apple Watch. I haven’t used my Apple Watch in years, so I went to go try and use the app, but it doesn’t seem to track anything, and still gives me the three rings as if it expects an Apple Watch to be paired.


The weirdest part is that this tracking seemed to work for a couple days, and then stopped again…


I have tried:


  • unpairing the Apple Watch from my phone and iCloud
  • deleting all Apple Watch data from the Health app
  • deleting all data from the Fitness app
  • deleting the Fitness app entirely and reinstalling it


Anybody have any other suggestions to get this tracking to work?

UPDATE: I figured it out. I checked to make sure my old Apple Watch wasn't paired using the devices in Find My, but it was still in my device list in iCloud (under your name in Settings). Clicking it and deleting it fixed the issue.
