Fitness rings not working unless I unpair and pair the watch.

My fitness rings don't work unless I unpair and pair my watch. It just started happening recently. I have done shut downs and other recommended fixes but after charging my phone at night the next morning I am in the same situation and have to start all over again doing an impair and pair. Any suggestions to fix this?

Did you try to erase the watch and pair it again, without using the latest backup data, setting it up as a new device?

You will only lose your created Watch faces and may have to activate the cards in your Wallet app again.

Then check your Fitness rings again.
