Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
When I first got my Apple Watch 6, after walking for 10 min it would ask “are you outdoor walking” and recognize my exercise. After about 2 weeks it stopped that, wouldn’t ask, wouldn’t track. I don’t know if I changed a setting I wasn't supposed to. I tried recalibration a few times, and I went on a 5 hour hike and after 40 min it still was not recognizing I was walking or tracking my exercise. Any suggestions?

The more exercise that you do means that the heart doesn't have to beat as fast to do the same amount of work because you're getting fitter so the 75% becomes a little harder to reach because you have to put a bit more effort in.
It's the watches way of encouraging you to get ever fitter.
It’s on, and still won’t recognize exercise. Took a 20 min walk tonight, only recognized 1min of exercise, did not trigger a workout reminder.
But why did it do it when I first got the Apple Watch, but then stopped.
But why would it stop auto recognizing an outdoor watch even with the workout reminders turned on. I went on a 5 hour hike and it didn’t ask. My HR was 160-170 for the better part of 2 hours.
You probably weren't walking fast enough for the watch to sense the workout.
