I get what you are telling me but I am walking 2 miles a day per doctor orders. Sometimes I have 17.5 min mile and sometimes I have 18.5 min miles but what is so weird is that some days (not always 17 min mile) it runs within a minute of each other watch vs phone and other days is way off like today I had to walk per my watch 45 min to get to the 30 min on my phone. It isn't consistent at all.

To earn 1 minute of exercise credit(green ring);

Travel a full minute at a brisk walking pace(3.3 mph approx) or above.

Raise your heart rate to approx 75% of your maximum.

When you're at around or above this heart rate for the entire minute you'll receive 1 exercise minute credit.

If you pause or slow down then you won't get any exercise credit.
