Apple watch excercise activity ring not working

I did a 75 minute work out today and yesterday and the activity green excercise ring just doesn’t record it. It used to work fine … how to I fix this.

it clearly shows I did a full workout. But the ring shows zero!

Try this checklist;

Check your personal details are correct in your health app profile.

Make sure the watch band is snug but not too tight.

Don't wear the watch on top of any tattoos.(Very important)

Check that the 2 side buttons aren't being accidently pressed by your hand or a sleeve



On your iPhone, go to Settings, then tap on Privacy and then select Location Services

option and ensure that it is enabled.

On the Location Services section, tap on System Services and then toggle the Motion

Calibration & Distance option to enable it

Next, go back to the Home Screen of your iPhone and launch the Watch application.

Then,tap on My Watch option, then tap on Privacy and toggle the Heart Rate option to

enable it.

Go back to My Watch section, then tap on Passcode, and toggle the Wrist Detection

option to enable it.

Finally, go back to My Watch section, then tap on Workout, and make sure Power
