Hi, I have an Apple Watch and regular track my steps in the activity app. However, sometimes I'd like to wear a normal (not smart) watch. Is there a way to use the activity app when not wearing the watch? For example, it pulls the data from the health app?
Thanks ace1018. I've read through the article and I already have the fitness app set up, however, when I'm not wearing my watch (and have my phone on me), my activity isn't populating. Do you have any solutions?

I’m having the same issue! I don’t always wear my Apple watch and now my iphone is no longer tracking my activity. Ugh.
Has this been solved? Having the same issue
All the advices here aren’t helpful. This USED to work and I believe stopped working recently with one or other software update. Running latest and greatest and the iPhone 14 just won’t show any data in fitness app if I’m not wearing my Ultra 2 watch. It really sucks and no real help so far.
Hello nashley2023,
If you're not wearing you're Apple Watch, you can use the Fitness app to track your daily activity. You can learn more here: Track daily activity in Fitness on iPhone - Apple Support
Thanks.
Make suite both devices are updated to latest version of Watch OS and iOS. Do a forced restart of each device. A forced restart is more than just turning the device off and on. Please follow the instructions in the Apple Support articles I linked below. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please unpair the device, force restart each device and then pair the devices again.

Hello nashley2023!
If it doesn't appear to be tracking any data, first confirm that your iPhone is fully up-to-date: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If it's already updated, try restarting to see if it begins to track again: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
If you’re still having an issue, please contact Apple Support: Get Support
Cheers!
Can you track activity when not wearing Apple Watch?
