    I'm having the same issue with mine. It's frustrating. Take pictures of the exercise app that shows you walked for 34 min and then take a picture of the rings that show only 6 min. credit. I went to apple and they said to give it a week after the IOS9 upgrade to see if it fixes it but it's still doesn't work properly. So what they are going to do with my watch is send it out to a 3rd party to have them take a look at it so see why it's doing that. But they wanted the screen shots as proof that it isn't working properly.

     

    Maybe if they get enough complaints they will do something about it.

    I just cycled (indoor) for 60 minutes and then did the elliptical for 60 minutes and it is showing nothing on the rings and nothing showed up in the Health app on the phone.  Any ideas?

    Update:

    I rebooted both phone and watch and everything is there now but I have a different problem.  iTunes doesn't find the phone now - ugh!
