I do not have the Activity or Workout apps on my Apple Watch 10. And this seems to be affecting how I track activity via the 'rings'... Anyone had similar issues?

If the Workout and Activity apps are missing from your Apple Watch Series 10, ensure both your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated to the latest software versions. Also, check if these apps have been inadvertently removed or restricted via Screen Time settings on your iPhone.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of potential solutions:
1. Software Update:
2. Check for App Restrictions:
3. Reset Fitness Calibration Data (If needed):
4. Check for App Deletion:
5. Restart Devices:
6. Restore from Backup (Last Resort):
7. Contact Apple Support:

Did you make sure, that on your iPhone in Settings/Privacy & Security/ Motion & Fitness/ -> Fitness Tracking is enabled, as well as in Location Services/System Services/ -> Motion Calibration & Distance?
Erasing the watch and paring it again as a new device, without using the latest watch backup, would be the next step, if this does not work:
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Did you try to download the Workout app again, using the AppStore on the Watch?

Is your iPhone managed by an institution, or has it a profile installed, and there are restrictions set up?
Seems like I had to reset my iPhone. At this point, I have not activated or rather paired my iCloud account on the watch with my phone and now both apps seem to be working just fine at the moment...
I've tried that but they are not there... This is so confusing... I've reset this watch 5 times now and I got this watch last Thursday, the only significant that II have done is update its' software....
If you pair your watch to your iPhone, the watch is automatically linked to your Apple Account and your activities should be synced to the Health app on your iPhone, which will also affect your rings in the Fitness App and on your watch.
Yes, but this seems to be a mistake because now, my Watch has issues with the apps again. Seems like when I log into my apple account, it messes up something with the Apple Watch... This is very frustrating
.
I tried all this... I'm visiting the Apple after care shop tomorrow. I have also tried to pair the device with someone else's iPhone and the same issue persists... Seems like something is wrong with the software on this Apple Watch or it some kind of malware.
Thank you and @Ingo2711 for the guidance.
I'll be back with an update on what the issue may be.
This is my own personal device. It is not managed by an institution.
All the best for the visit at the Apple Store!
