Apple Watch Ultra Synching with phone

My Apple Watch Ultra keeps track of my workouts, but no other health apps are working. Health, Pillow, Fitness which is basically the only reason I bought the Apple Watch. The watch will keep track of some things, but not sync with my phone. The watch alerts me of texts, calls, etc but will not sync the mentioned apps. I have un-installed/installed apps, power cycled both the watch and phone. Any suggestions?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

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.

As a last resort, follow the above procedure for unpairing and pairing the watch, but do not restore the backup. Set the watch up as new instead. There should be no loss of Fitness data or Awards since those are stored on the paired iPhone, not the watch.
