Fitness Movement Ring - No Longer Tracking When Not Wearing Watch

[Fried Potato]

Hi guys,

I've used my iPhone to close my Fitness movement ring for about half a year without any issues. Since getting my first Apple Watch (a little over a month ago), I've noticed that the movement (pink) ring in the Fitness app no longer closes when I'm not wearing my watch. I can see that the steps are otherwise tracked in the Health app.

Is there any way to fix this? There are days when I want to wear my other (non-Apple) watches without losing my streak progress. As mentioned, the rings were closing as usual with my iPhone before I got my Apple Watch.

Thanks!

Your paired watch is the difference. No way I know of to use the watch and have the phone work independently for tracking fitness..

I don’t know why it just doesn’t continue tracking on its own (the iPhone) when I’m not wearing the watch. It’s still tracking my steps…
