outdoor walk does not record accurately even after watch calibration reset

Hello:) Take a look here:

• The definition of a brisk walk (the minimum equivalent intensity level for activity to earn Exercise credit) varies by person and depends on your personal information. To check that this is accurate:

• • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > Edit - tap and adjust items, then tap on Done.

Check your Location Services settings:

• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:

• Check that Location Services (the main setting at the top) is turned on.

• • In the list of apps beneath, check that Apple Watch Workout is set to While Using.

• Also enable options under System Services including Motion Calibration & Distance, Wi-Fi Networking and Mobile Network Search.

• • If the settings are already enabled, try briefly turning them off and then back again.

Reset your existing calibration data and recalibrate your Apple Watch:

• Calibration can improve the accuracy of estimations made by Activity app and Workout app.

• More information and instructions are available via the link below:

• Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support

• • Resetting your calibration data can be equally as helpful for Series 2 & 3 models and will not erase your Activity history.

Check that you are wearing your Apple Watch sufficiently snugly on the top of your wrist:

• If your Apple Watch is worn too loosely, it can believe that it has been removed, causing activity to not be tracked.

• For the best performance from your Apple Watch - including the most accurate readings from the heart rate sensor, which is used continually during workouts - be sure to wear your Apple Watch snugly (but not too tightly) during your workouts.

• Apple suggests tightening your Apple Watch band before workouts and loosening it again afterwards:

Record workouts under Other for full Exercise credit:

• If you would prefer to receive Exercise credit for the full duration of workouts, regardless of their estimated intensity levels, then track them via the Workout app using "Other" as the activity type.

• This will credit one minute of Exercise for each full minute of the workout. Active calories will be estimated at a rate equivalent to a brisk walk or based on data recorded by the heart rate sensor, whichever is higher.

• However, note that neither distance nor a route map are recorded for outdoor workouts under this workout activity type.
