Exercise ring not registering anymore when I just walk

Why would my exercise ring suddenly stop registering a walk when it did it before? I have to use exaggerated moves just to get it so anything past 3 or 4. I walked for 47 minutes and it registered 7. Series 4 watch

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

The next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


You should also make sure your watch is calibrated:
