Apple Watch issues with Activity tracking

Activity app not connecting/recording activity - super delayed. I workout first thing in the morning and the last month or so I am having issues with the activity app not connecting. It stays frozen on the screen showing the blank rings - if I try to start an activity (ie elliptical or bowling) it will not start when I hit the start button. I have the app connected to my health app and also the peloton app. In the past if I started a workout through the peloton app it would eventually trigger it to start tracking but now it is not - it just shows that it can not connect to track my heart rate.


I thought the issue may have been my watch so I bought a new series 11 and it is doing the same thing. I have made sure that my iPhone and watch each have the most up to date software. I am so frustrated I don't know what else to do. I put my watch on at 630am - turned it off and back on around 730am and it did not start to "register" and track my activity / stand / movement until 12pm.


HELP!!

Apple Watch Series 11, watchOS 26
