My Apple Watch Series 9 not working properly after restore

Apple Support talked me through restoring my iPhone from a backup but ever since, my watch has stopped recording sleep or vitals. I’m getting notifications and everything else

works except that. I’ve removed and readded sleep focus and restarted my watch but it’s not worked. Any ideas?

They should have advised unpairing the watch first.

Unpair and set up again, takes about 20 minutes.

 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support


Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support


If no remedy, unpair again and setup without restoring the backup (as new watch) You will lose little except saved Faces and some settings
