   Force a manual data sync

   If data is missing, toggle Bluetooth off on your iPhone for 10 seconds and turn it back on. This refreshes the connection and forces the Apple Watch to push pending health packets to the iPhone.

   Note: Avoid restarting the watch until the Bluetooth toggle process is complete.
