I am hitting my exercise, move and stand goals daily on the activity app on my watch but for some reason it is not being synced and stored on the fitness app on my phone so therefore I can't go back and see previous stats and progress
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8
If you have owned an Apple Watch in the past, and you did not set up the new Apple Watch as a new Apple Watch during setup, your old Apple Watch backup will be used to set up the new watch.
Since the Apple Watch backup is part of the iPhone backup, you will have to set up your watch as a new device, to separate the data.
Try to erase the watch and pair it again, this time setting it up without using the latest backup.
Make sure that in the settings for Privacy, Fitness Tracking is enabled:

Then start a workout to see, if the data is being synced to the Health App/Fitness App on your iPhone.

Did you already force restart your watch and iPhone?
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support
Can you see your workouts in the Health App/Browse/Activity?
Did you set up the Apple Watch, using the same Apple ID, that you are registered to on your iPhone in Settings/Apple ID?
Did you change your Apple ID in the past?
Thank you for the reply. I have tried the force restart on both and nothing.
If I go into Health>Browse>Activity the last thing tracked is from the 19th of May? I am unsure of what has happened. If I go on the Health>Browse>Activity , my steps and distance for today are tracked but no Move, Stand and Exercise.
I would appreciate any further help please
When I look at the previous data in the summary in the fitness app it seems to have some activities from May which I know for a fact aren't mine. Could it be that they are from the previous owner of the watch and all of my data is going through to their device? TIA
This watch (although only being a series 3) is fairly new to me. I got it in June. Has been setup with my current Apple ID which I have had for years. It hasn't tracked anything the whole time I have had it.
I am looking through the summary on the fitness app and there is almost 2 years worth of activities tracked that couldn't have possibly been me as I didn't have an apple watch as that point.
I did however have a watch in the past that I sold but I am sure I reset this. Is there any possibility that it could be pulling data from that watch still?
I appreciate your help a lot @Ingo2711
