Duplicate health app metrics

My Apple Watch and iPhone tend to duplicate exercise activity including exercise minutes, steps, walking and running distance, and sometimes count Cycling as steps. Anyone else having this issue?

Fitness app calorie count reduced I use a third party app for HIIT workout. The app records my activity (duration, steps and calories burnt) and sync the data with Health app and Fitness app. As soon as the workout completes, everything appears good. The same calorie count is displayed in Fitness and the 3rd party app, and I could see that I closed the fitness ring. However, after some time, the calorie count was reduced in Fitness app. Why is that? I don’t have an Apple Watch, but I do have a band that tracks my steps. I understand there may be some double counting if I use multiple apps to track my steps and workouts, but shouldn’t Health & Fitness take the maximum of all source apps, if not the sum?

Health app counting steps. Just got an Apple Watch and have noticed it counts considerably less steps than my iPhone - by approx 15%. I’ve had both with me all day. Is there something I need to change to get them to be closer? also I keep reading that I can change the priority order of data sources in Health app, but every time I put Iphone at the top, within minutes it reverts to Apple Watch at top. Any ideas why?

Why does Apple Watch reduce the calories data recorded by another fitness tracker in Health? I just purchased an Apple Watch SE a couple of days ago and have it configured to an iPhone SE. As I was looking at the Health app on my iPhone, I noticed that all my workout calorie data recorded by my previous fitness tracker had been reduced by 65%. Why is this occurring and how can this be fixed? I have used the Apple Watch in the last couple of days to track various workout activities on the Apple Fitness+ and both the active and total calories are very low and don't seem right. I have readjusted the settings, re-calibrated the watch several times, am wearing the watch correctly and have no tattoos. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I read posts within the Communities and saw that lots of people have had issues with reporting incorrect calorie data and calorie data being modified by the Apple Watch since 2015. Why hasn't Apple fixed this?

Try a reset y pressing in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.
