Dance not closing ring

Take care!

I talked to Apple twice and they have no explanation. They said they do not know the stats that earn the exercise minutes, but the only workout that gives minute for minute is “other”. I did go to Apple feedback and send an email, it would help if you do too so maybe it can get fixed or at least stats for what counts as a exercise minutes

I had to completely complete reset my watch and set it up as new, but now it’s working right

It has been a couple of weeks. After two hours on the phone with Apple Support and no resolution, I completely reset my watch and my phone and deleted all my health data. Now it works with some* dance workouts where it might register 3 minutes instead of 20. It is a real shame that Apple cannot get this issue fixed.

malini27,

Thanks for going through those steps. At this point, the best path forward would be to contact Apple directly. Use this link: Get Support

Cheers!

I too am having this issue and only with the Apple Fitness+ dance workouts. I did a 30 minute dance workout today and it registered as like 15 mins, but then I did a 5 min mindful cool down and it registered all 5 mins. It registers all my other work outs too because I have done strength, core, and cycling. This is only happening with dance. I have pictures from one time

it only registered that one as 2 mins.

I tried all these steps yesterday and still no exercise minutes from my dance workout today.

My watch is doing the same thing. It worked perfect until about a week ago, and now it’s not calculating
