Q: Activity App

Hi.

Ever since I have bought my apple watch I have noticed that the Activity App is not recognising me standing. I have now joined a gym and I want to raise my activity level - how do I fix this? I want to be able to record my Activity accurately.

This is what my rings look like every day, no standing.

 

 

Thank you

    Hi

     

    Try these steps:

     

    • On your iPhone in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Wrist Detection - check that this is turned on.
    • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Privacy > Motion & Fitness - turn Fitness Tracking off (or turn it on, if it is currently turned off).
    • Restart both devices by turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
      • To turn your iPhone off: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; drag it to turn off. To restart, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
      • To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off. To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
    • If you turned Fitness Tracking off in step 2, now return to the setting and re-enable it.

    The following steps may also help to improve the accuracy of estimations made by the Activity app and Workout app:

     

     

    • Check that your personal information has been entered accurately (and keep it updated it over time):
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Health > Edit (upper-right).

    Thank you so much.

    Wrist detection was turned off so I'm hoping that will work.
