Apple Watch 6 not tracking outdoor walk as exercise ring I have a Apple Watch 6 and for the last 2 days it hasn’t tracked all of the outdoor walk towards my exercise ring. Even when I select it as an outdoor walk. my friend has the SE and we both did the same walk the same speed and his tracked it fine even with his heart rate lower than mine. ive tried all the calibrations and I really don’t know why it’s stopped tracking my walks for the whole time.

Because it's designed that way,only outdoor walk,run or hiking workouts will give a V02Max reading.
