| WatchOS 7 Apple watch GPS data not working |
The Fitness app is not working on Apple Watch properly or iPhone since updating to iOS14. Entire workout completely disappeared missed from Health app in iPhone. It seems to be a sync issue between iPhone and Apple Watch.
After iPhone X updated on iOS 14, Fitness app does not register any activity. All fitness data has disappeared and the Apple Watch is not syncing with the new data, the Fitness data missing.
It seems that the iPhone in iOS 14 is not synching properly, for a walk of 10100 steps on Apple watch, shows 9000 something on health app on iPhone. Also Exercise registered on Apple watch not showing up in health app on iPhone.For some iPhone and Apple watch user the issue not only limited to sync between Apple Watch and iPhone but in some cases Fitness app won’t launch at all.
Below are the two major issue:
- No GPS map data on Activity app.
- Overall calorie usage displayed in the fitness app has declined from 2200-2800 a day to hardly like 1000 a day! While steps are still counted, and calories within registered work-outs are counted correctly. Mouvement rings seem to work fine too.

Fix 2: Reset both watch and iPhone
If none of the fixes works for you, you should try radical solution. you will have to restore your iPhone as new and set the smartwatch from scratch.
Fix 3: Adjust Move goal
This is a workaround to sync Apple watch and iPhone. open the Fitness app on your watch and adjust your daily move goal. This should update it to the phone and fix sync issue.

It seems that started after iOS 14 update, and for a permanent fix for the issue you should consider updating watchOS. If watch OS is on the latest version please wait for the next version of iOS 14 and update once available.
Fix 5: Restore the iPhone
Back up the iPhone to iCloud or iTunes and then do a factory reset of all content and settings. Now restore the backup from my iCloud backup and try to pair Apple series watch and the fitness app should work normally. The health app should also work without any issue.
