I am beyond frustrated with the Apple Watch not reading exercise time. I work out for 20 minutes and it only counts 6 minutes! I restarted both watch and phone, almost daily and now that doesn’t even work, I turn off privacy before restarting. I have the watch extremely tight on my wrist so it can read.
I just want it to count when I have done my work out and it F’n doesn’t count!!!
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

I can't vouch for those specific numbers, but I feel sure there is some kind of algorithm. See the "Make sure that you earn Move and Exercise credit" section in:
