My watch has always shown the result of my outdoor walks in distance (green). All of a sudden it is showing it in calories (red). I have gone into the three dot menu in the exercise face on the watch to try to permanently change it back but it is staying on calories. Please help!

You need to change your goal from a calorie goal back to an open goal.

Tap the 3 dots on the exercise you want and then tap Open goal and go for your walk.

and then end your walk exercise when your done.

It should remain on open until the time you wish to change it again.
