my daily goal is 450 calories.
yesterday I set an open goal walk - completed 6.7 miles over 2.40 hours but it only showed that I had completed 11mins of my 30 mins target?
I'm confused why the walk doesn’t register more time.
Any help? Screen shots attached. Thank you.

To earn exercise or workout credit you must move at the speed of a brisk walk.
To earn 1 minute of exercise credit(green ring);
Travel a full minute at a brisk walking pace 3.3 mph or 18 minutes per mile approx.
Raise your heart rate to approx 75% of your maximum.
When you're at around or above this heart rate and speed for the entire minute you'll receive 1 exercise minute credit.
If you pause or slow down during this minute then you won't get any exercise credit for that minute,it will still measure your steps and calories burnt but will not give you any credit towards the exercise ring.

if you want credit for every minute of exercise regardless of your speed you can always use "other" workout.
Though it will not use distance in the workout (it will count in your daily summary) nor will the GPS keep track of your location.
That makes sense - thank you. Just seems frustrating to do that many miles without achieving a goal.
Thank you. That’s interesting.
I guess the distance would be on your daily total though.
Yes your distance, steps etc will all show in your daily totals as would calories and heart rate
Thank you. I shall give that a try.
Workout - outdoor walk open goal - exercise ring.
