Did you check on your iPhone in Settings/Privacy & Security

  • Motion & Fitness -> Fitness Tracking -> ON


And in Location Services:

  • Location Services are enabled
  • Apple Watch Workout is set to "While Using the App" and Precise Location is enabled
  • System Services -> Motion Calibration & Distance -> ON
