Outdoor cycle not adding to exercise rings

I have a brand new Apple Watch series 6 that all the updates are up to date on. I have just done an outdoor cycle. It took 25mins & we covered 3.55km, it’s logged on the workout activity but isn’t logging on my exercise ring. Can anyone explain? I have checked that my settings in motion & fitness are all checked.

Exercise ring not showing all exercise time Hi there, I am wondering if something isn't syncing quite right with my exercise ring. I have tracked two outdoor walks today on my apple watch - 52mins and 27mins - but my exercise ring only says 32 mins. Any idea why? It often seems to do this and I'm not sure why.

my apple watch isn't closing my exercise ring even though I started and ended a workout. how do I correct this? I noticed that recently when I start and end a workout on my Apple watch it does not close my ring. It captures the specifics during the workout but just not for the sake of closing the ring. example I did an indoor walk today for 35 mins and the green exercise ring has zero.

Exercise ring is not showing my workouts -- Apple Watch 4, iOS 6.1.3; iPhone 11, iOS 13.3.1 I am completing Outdoor walks -- duration of one hour or more and 3 to 3.5 miles. This is no longer registering with my Exercise ring of my Activity rings. The exercise ring is showing 1 or 2 minutes of exercise. I have rebooted, ensured all items show tracking, locations services are turned on. This started two days ago, 3/6/2020. I have tried all the suggestions listed in the forums and YouTube. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Sbaker2007,

It sounds like your rings are not closing. If that's correct, let's try the following.

Close your rings

Also, try calibrating your Apple Watch.

Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy

This should help.

Cheers.
