I noticed for the first time yesterday that when I started an indoor walk and walked 1 hour and 1 minute , my exercise ring only picked up 35 minutes of the workout. I'm not sure why this happened, but it is the first time this is happened. Has this happened to anyone else? I've recently made sure the iwatch software was up to-date and it is. Thanks,
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

My experience with this problem is that I have noticed when involved in vigorous exercise, the Apple Watch is not crediting exercise that takes me over 120 beats per minute. I’ve been out of shape and on the journey back to good fitness levels. If walk the dog around local streets with all 35 minutes of activity below 120 beats per minute then all of it is credited toward closing the exercise ring. If I go over 120 beats per minute, that exercise does not seem to be counted. The message I’m taking from that is the Apple people and their algorithms seem to know of my relatively low fitness status and are pushing me toward only gentle exercise at this stage of the journey. I understand it slowly increases the thresholds over time when it judges the user is in better health. Try 35 minutes of something relatively gentle and if all 35 of those minutes are credited to your daily target (and more vigorous exercise is not) then I think there’s a message in that. Good luck.
