Workouts Not Recorded by Exercise Ring

I have had an Apple Watch in various versions for four years. This is the first time, just since the last update that all of this has been happening. End it only happens sometimes. Out of the last six workouts it has happened twice

It would be nice if we older watch users could reset the heart rate or at least make it age-adjusted. As a 72 year old with an arthritic hip I don’t quite reach the 7 minute pace I did when I ran 10 K races in my 30’s. 👵🏻😉

My activity rings stopped working after I updated my watch last night. I can still see my workout in the app on my phone but it hasn't done any of the usual calculations and the rings haven't moved. So frustrated that their answer is to wait for the next update! It was working great prior to that.

I tried to reset also. It didn’t work. It was working fine till the 6.0 update. Now my exercise and move hardly move at all. I did my morning walk of 15 min it showed 6 min and 90 calories. It’s usually closer to 130 calories. It appears the minutes aren’t registering and half of your workout.

I used MyFitnessPal to enter a workout and that updated the workout ring, but didn't change the movement ring, which still shows 0. I'm disabled and get lots of small movement throughout the day rather than lots all at once. Hope they fix this quickly or I will just start ignoring the rings entirely.

Until this update, using "strength training" would also bypass the heart rate requirement, which meant I could be both accurate, and get exercise ring credit, because strength training is exactly what my doctors and PTs want me to do. After I updated the watch yesterday, I tried 15 min of "strength training" and 15 min of "Other" and it still didn't give me any credit at all. Plus, I used to get some "movement ring" credit if I moved around, walked, went up/down stairs. It wasn't enough to reach my goal, but I'd get *something*. After this update, I'm getting absolutely zilch credit for day to day movement.

I managed to fix the issue with one basic troubleshooting step -- I rebooted the Watch. Turned it off completely then turned it back on (it took upwards of 5 minutes to restart but I wasn't arguing). I was planning on re-calibrating the activity sensor using the instructions in the Apple support article about that step, but figured I'd reboot first. After rebooting, it started registering movement again so that seems to have done the trick. I did recalibrate as well, for good measure, but suspect it was unnecessary.

Was this new with the last update? All of my outdoor walks from last week have the same metrics (speed, HR, and pace) as this week and I got full time credit for them but this week I’m walking for over an hour and getting like maybe 15 minutes that count towards my exercise ring.

The same is happening for me. Everything was working just great until yesterday (11/9). I walked 75 minutes at 20.43 pace (against a 14 mph wind) and the exercise ring only showed 15 minutes. The exercise is logged (hence I know the time and pace) but the ring doesn't move and this is new. Watch5 Not sure when I installed the new update, maybe before that? I did turn it off (to install a screen protector) yesterday, but it still happened today.

You didn't mention one other possible solution....Reset your Watch by pressing in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.

I have this same problem. Under the workout it shows my 5 mile outdoor walk, but the ring doesn’t close. It says six of 30 minutes for example.

I tried this right after I noticed this same problem. No joy.

Is there a way to adjust those levels using the watch or app on the iPhone?
