Step tracking in activity app - iPhone and Watch Question

[cwe0002]

I have an Apple Watch original sport and iPhone 7 plus with latest software. My watch tracks my steps and activity in the 'Activity' app but when I leave my watch at home for the day it doesn't count steps from the iPhone. I have step tracking active on the iPhone, any ideas? This is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance...

How do you have step tracking "active" on iPhone? Apple Watch counting steps from swings of an arm. I don't see how you can achieve that with iPhone.
