Closing Rings

I workout daily longer than my fitness goal yet my workout “ring” is never accurate. The details of my workout are fine, why is the ring inaccurate?

Thanks. I am familiar with the criteria. Problem is a 5.5km outdoor walk with a heart rate of 124 should yield more than 3 minutes. I purchased the watch to motivate closing all rings on a daily basis. Not seeing the hard work being rewarded, it is disappointing. I am unfortunately regretting my purchase and it only has been a month.

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.
