At 53 I find the Apple Watch the worst activity tracker or the market. It seems your heart rate has to be over 130 for it to registrar a minute of activity and there is no way to adjust for age and fitness level. I hope that the apple people have plans to improve this feature of come out with a different fitness tracker. Does anyone have any workarounds?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6
Someone needs to train the call center because I called about this issue and they gave me the rate of 130. Where would I find my maximum to calculate 75%? Yes to the best of my ability I did everything in these steps.
It does on mine buy I'm older than you. Use the internet and calculate your maximum heart rate then take 75% of that. The result will be the point at which it will begin counting as exercise.

Did you enter you details in the health app on the phone such as age,height,weight and gender and did you read here;

And your heart rate has to be 75% of your maximum to record exercise,not over 130.
So it registers your exercise at a heart rate of under 130?
So I. Am bump up my year of birth in the health settings... will it mess anything else up?
You can calculate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220.
If your want it to be accurate leave it on your year of birth. Make sure you have your current height, weight and keep an on on your heart rate while you are working out.
