Follow those steps to check and restore your pairing with your Apple Watch:
Open the Kotcha app, and go to the Me tab and go to the Connected Apps & Devices section.
Start by checking if Sync with Apple Watch has a green checkmark.
If it shows a green checkmark (like screen #8 below), it means that pairing is valid.

Tap on both toggle buttons to grant access to export workouts to your Apple Watch, and connect with Apple Health.
Allow Kotcha to add workouts to Apple Watch.
Turn On All categories from Apple Health.
Validate by clicking on Allow.
Check the confirmation screen.
You should now see the green checkmark.

Go to Workout.
Go to Connected Apps (scroll all the way down).

4️⃣ How to force export your workouts to your Garmin watch?
When Kotcha is successfully paired with your Apple Watch, you can force the export of your training calendar as follow:
Open the Kotcha app, go to the Home view, and tap on the calendar icon of your current week of training.
Save the schedule of your current week of training. This will automatically export or update your workouts to your Apple Watch.
