Apple Watch not tracking exercise correctly again.

I’ve noticed since the last update that my Apple series 3 watch is not correctly giving credit for exercise. This was a problem last year but seemed to correct after an update. Now it’s doing it again. I did a bike ride for almost 50 minutes with an average heart rate of 163 bpm and it only gave me 27 minutes of exercise credit.

Apple watch not tracking exercise? I have a new Apple watch series 6 and it is not tracking my exercise. Every morning I do a 25 min brisk incline walk on my treadmill and typically burn about 220 total cals (and I always get the full 25 mins counted towards my green exercise ring). This morning, I tracked the workout the same way that I always do and only burned 120 cals and got 0 mins counted towards my green exercise ring. My heart rate was up the whole time (148 bpm). Like I said, yesterday was the complete opposite, my treadmill workout counted towards my exercise ring. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix this issue? Thanks!

Exercise ring Apple Watch I been having trouble with my watch tracking my exercise correctly for example I could have done a 15 hour shifts where I have been pretty much non stop but the exercise ring would only state that I done 18 minutes of exercise. All the other rings are find it’s just that one. Had anyone got any suggestions? I have made sure my watch is updated and that it’s on the right as well

If you recently updated your iPhone and Watch try resetting the watch by pressing i the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then releasing both.
