The Fitness app on my phone only seems to work if I wear my Apple
Watch. I did not wear the watch the past couple days and it recorded nothing. Today I wore the watch and it is now working. In the
meantime the Health app recorded all my steps and distance walked.
Is this the way the Fitness app is supposed to work? Do the Fitness
and Health apps share data? If I carried my phone and not watch while walking would they sync up?

there's a motion coprocessor in the phone, which predates the watch.
the iphone 5s in 2013 was the first, with what was then called an m7 >coprocessor, not to be confused with the current apple silicon m*
series chips.

The M-series motion coprocessors are accessible to applications
through the Core Motion API introduced in iOS 7, so they do, for
example, allow fitness apps that track physical activity and access
data from the M processors without constantly engaging the main
application processor. They enable applications to be aware of what
type of movement the user is experiencing, such as driving, walking,
running, or sleeping. Another application could be the ability to do
indoor tracking and mapping. In iOS 10, the motion coprocessor is
used to implement raise-to-wake functionality, reducing idle energy
usage.

third party apps and devices can request access and share data via
healthkit.

Thank you for saying something, but unfortunately this was a huge
non-answer to my questions. Have you been watching a lot of
politicians make speeches?

how is it not an answer? your phone has a motion sensor, as does your
watch. healthkit is the repository for walking and other health-related
data. it doesn't matter if that data is sourced from the watch, phone
or some third party external device.
