my apple watch isnt registering calories or distance on any workout

There are quite a few things that can play into that. Are there any more details that you can provide?

• Did this just start happening recently, or has it never worked?
• Are you using an app from the store for workouts, or the just the built-in?
• Any other weird behaviors happening with your watch or phone?

These can help someone give you a better answer.

While we're on the topic though, here are some articles that could help with your issue. I'd recommend following these in order, if possible

• How to restart your Apple Watch & Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (it really could be that simple, if you haven't tried this already; restarting both, then testing again has been known to fix an array of issues.
• Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch
• Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy
• Work out with your Apple Watch

Best of luck!

Probably for the best; especially if you still have coverage.

FWIW, I'm really trying to piece together what traveling abroad could do to cause lasting effects on distance tracking, and I'm not finding anything. I'm reasonably confident that it is not counting calories because it's not tracking distance - it just doesn't make sense for it to not track distance if you have it setup correctly (and since it was working before, it's hard to make an argument against that)

If you want a last ditch effort to save yourself the trip to the store, you could always try unpairing it and setting it up again.

If you wind up figuring it out, I'd love to hear back.

Best wishes

Ah, maybe the location tracking was thrown off by the loss of data.

Are you back within coverage now?

Have you tried restarting both watch and phone?
