Why isn't my Health app syncing with my Apple Watch?
My watch has different totals for steps and hours moved that are reflected on the health app. Why won’t they sync up?

I figured out how to turn the watch off without using the force restart. When I had first tried it I didn’t see the little power icon on the upper right.
Followed instructions to turn off both watch and phone and it appears that it is syncing to the health app.
I can’t find it again but at some point when I was trying to figure out what to do I saw a display of devices that were sharing data and it included two watches and two phones but I only have one of each.
Did you already force restart both devices? This will resync the fitness data between the iPhone and the watch.
To Force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back on the screen again.
Yes. I did force restart the watch and restarted the phone. Now the health app in the phone is in sync with the data on the watch. But, the health app on my iPad is not in sync. I restarted the iPad but it didn’t change.
I just checked the Health App on my iPad, last sync with iCloud was 6 hours ago. I guess, since the Health App on the iPhone is the primary data base for the Apple Watch, syncing on that device does not happen that often.
Thank you. When I tried to turn the watch off by holding the side button it went into countdown for sos and emitted a sound alert. I didn’t want to accidentally call 911 so I cancelled out of it.
They are the same devices. Especially if you owned an Apple Watch or iPhone before, you may find multiple sources of the same device category.
Thank you. Makes sense.
I'll check my iPad tomorrow and see, if it synced maybe over night while backing up to iCloud.
