Apple Watch, Step Counting, Workout Walk

Hello,

When I go for an outdoor walk with my apple watch it tracks it as a workout. Great. But my step count always seems so low. When I am doing a walk as a "workout" are my steps still being calculated? Or am I only getting workout credit and not steps credit?

Apple Watch does not give me exercise credit for my indoor walk workout. Apple Watch does not give me exercise credit for my indoor walk workout. No matter what I do I do not get full credit. Very frustrating! It used to! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch series 3 steps question Hi all, I have recently purchased the apple watch series 3. I’ve swapped from a Fitbit so it’s very different. When I select workout outside walk, when I’m walking it doesn’t show how many steps I’m walking, where as with the Fitbit it shows the amount of steps I was doing during a walk which encouraged me to do more. Is there anyway of seeing how many steps on the apple watch whilst in workout mode ? thanks

How can I get the Apple Watch Activity Tracker to recalculate my Move total? I did a 7 mile run this morning, however my activity tracker is showing 86 calories for the day, which cannot be accurate. I am pretty sure the Polar Beat app that I attempted to use is causing the discrepancy so I have deleted that entry from my workouts. I have also removed the Polar Beat app from both my Apple Watch and my iPhone, but alas the Move total is still stuck at 86. Is there a way to get it to recalculate my total movement for the day? For the record the 7 mile run that was tracked by the Activity app is showing and my Exercise and Steps totals look accurate. Move is the only tracking activity that is totally wrong.

You get both if you walk within the speed of a brisk walk criteria.
