Hey there Kateevs007,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


It's possible that you may have deleted these apps from your Apple Watch without realizing it. There are certain apps that are built in to watchOS that you are able to delete and the Workout and Activity apps are both included in that list. To see if you can restore those apps, follow these steps:


Restore a built-in app that you deleted

1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, go to the App Store.
2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app.
3. Tap the Redownload button .
4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home Screen.

If you have Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.


That info can be found here: Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
