Q: Exercise in activity app doesn't work
Hey all,
I just installed iOS 9 beta public 3 on my iPhone 6 and have WatchOS 1.0.1.
Yesterday Exercise in Activity App was properly in green around the round but today it no longer moves, i don't program the exercise app, but I've never done and it worked correctly until this morning. Move and stand still working
I saw several people had this problem, you have found a solution?

The exercise ring on Apple Watch requires activity above a "brisk walk" - with a sustained increase in heart rate for at least 1 minute - in order to give credit.
If you are not using the Workout app, it's important for your arm to swing naturally as you walk or run, because the Activity app relies on arm motion and the accelerometer to track movement.
Ensure that you have Wrist Detection turned on (Apple Watch iPhone app > General > Wrist Detection toggle).
You could test doing a workout, using the Workout app to start and end your activity. For example, try a brisk outdoor walk.
Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
