I seem to remember when Fitness+ was new that a lot of people had this problem and it turned out that if you install the "Home" app for ipad it started working,I can't test any of this because I don't have fitness+ but here is the link for the home app;

Thanks again but sadly my IPad does not find my watch when I am in Fitness +, perhaps I misunderstood but according to one of your links it should work:

iPad

Apple Fitness+ is available on the App Store for the following iPad models:

I have a iPad Pro with iPadOS 14.3 or later and the Apple Watch 7. :(

Make sure your Apple Watch Series 3 or later is associated with the same Apple ID as your iPad.

Thank you, I do have Fitness + and it works perfectly with the phone. Since the screen is so much smaller is there a way to see the workout on the IPad and still get the details tracked? I have just been using an open goal on the watch at the same time.

Thank you, I think I need to reboot my watch? By any chance do you know why the IPad is not recognizing the watch? Is it possible to turn off the watch and turn it back on? The best part of this correspondence was your links got my to subscribe to Apple One and I sincerely thank you for all of your time!
