Outdoor cycling not credited as exercise with Apple Watch series 6

Using my series 6 iWatch when I choose outdoor cycling it correctly tracks my route, heart rate and speed.

when I finish my bike route and finish the cycling tracking the activity rings are not updated.

if I cycle for 30 minutes I would expect 30 minutes to be added to the green exercise ring but they do not.

i have checked to see if the location services and watch settings are correct and seem to be.

the watch correctly tracks my route mileage and GPS shows my correct route. My average heart rate was 128 so it should register as exercise.


to close my rings I had to select the “other” exercise category and let it run for 33 minutes but my heart rate was 78 but it counted towards exercise and logged it properly.

I have searched this problem on apple discussions and the go to answer from apple is check certain settings but it doesn’t seem that’s the problem.

HELP, I’m trying to correctly track my exercise that’s why I bought this watch.

I have the same issue. At first I thought it was because I wasn’t getting my heart rate up enough on a fairly flat ride, but today’s was a nice hilly ride, my heart rate was up and was using the Apple workout app with my phone with me. Not really any help for you, but just to let you know you are not alone.
