Apple Watch guide
Apple has no Padel workout yet. Record a generic activity with Other, or keep score with PadelGod right on your wrist.
For activity only: Workout › Add Workout › Other. For padel scoring: install PadelGod on iPhone, the Watch app comes with it.
Apple's public catalog includes activities such as Tennis and Pickleball, but not Padel. Apple directs you to Other when there is no matching workout type.
Tracks time and effort. It adds no sets or padel scoring.
The PadelGod companion app is made for the real on-court flow: scoring, offline continuity and iPhone sync.
The Apple integration available to apps has no Padel type, so the Health session uses Tennis. The score and match stay Padel inside PadelGod.

Yes. The watch keeps the score and syncs it automatically when the phone comes back in range.
Apple currently offers no Padel category in the catalog used by this integration. PadelGod shows the match as Padel inside the app, but records the HealthKit session under Tennis, so Apple Fitness may display Tennis.
