Watch not syncing with iPhone activity app

My watch does not always sync my activity to the activity app on iPhone. I have to reboot my phone to get my activity to sync. Anyone else finding this issue?

Yeah having the exact same problem, its seems to take hours at times even when connected to WIFI. Restarting the app doesn't work but restarting the phone seems to do the trick. Would be nice if it would sync more often or there was at least an option on the phone app to force a sync.

I chatted with apple support and the dude told me to unpair and repair my watch so i did and i restored it with my last back up but that didn't work and the it still wasn't syncing but when i checked the activity app on my watch all my saved data was gone. I had just completed my first day with my watch and went around the rings 3+ times and got a new achievement. All my hard work gone thanks to my man Des in tech support.

I had the same problem, and contacted Apple Support as well. Did unpairing and pairing again as they suggested, but it didn't work.


Then I noticed that in the Health app, the Activity section didn't work at all, there is a "reset data" button, but it does nothing. So I chose to erase and restore my iPhone, then reset and paired the Watch as a new device. Everything finally starts work, but I've also lost all my data.
