Outdoor cycling not credited as exercise with Apple Watch series 6

Thanks, I posted a feedback as well.

Sadly, indoor cycling might give you more accurate calories than other but will not give you speed or distance

Apparently that ride was 76 active calories also 😂

I do the same or I choose outdoor walk. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It asks if I’m done with either.

Has anyone tried putting their watch on their ankle? Might be a stupid idea but wanted to see if it might work?

Thanks, I have completed the form.

Did you have to sync it after every cycle ride or just once ahead of time?

Also, does it give you the same data that Apple’s default OUTDOOR CYCLE Open Goal records for you?

It’s synced automatically, which is great. Here are a screenshots from both apps.

I'm also wondering: if you use BOTH apps at the same time: does it double the minutes credited to the workout? As in, 60 min from Komoot + "45" credited minutes from the Apple Fitness app?

Wow I guess it’s just good to know I’m not alone. This really stinks though. Downloading Komoot

This is absolutely unacceptable for mountain bikers. What a poor user experience.

Under system services turn on “motioN calibration and distance”. This should fix your outdoor cycling issue.

Unfortunately that didn’t work. But thanks for the suggestion!

I have the exact same issue. On Sunday we rode 12kms for 64 minutes. My average heart rate was 154 bpm. My exercise ring only credited me 9 minutes!!! So disappointing! I checked all the settings as well, everything is ok. It works fine with other types of workouts. Part of Apple's solution says to "let your arm swing naturally" but obviously if you're biking, your arm doesn't swing which I think is part of the problem. Apple needs to fix this. From now on, I will use the "other" workout. Very frustrating.
