Apple Watch no longer records distance on my outdoor cycles.

My watch used to record distance on my outdoor cycles, but doesn't currently. Do I have a setting wrong?

Hey there rolandfromalbuquerque,


The directions given in the Apple Support Communities post linked below should help with this issue!


Just in case, here are the instructions:


On the iPhone, please go to > Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Motion Calibration & Distance, and make sure that's enabled. More about that under the "Check your settings" part of this link: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy
Please also go to the Apple Watch app on the iPhone > Privacy > Fitness Tracking, and make sure that's turned on as well. More about tracking workouts here: Track workouts and stay healthy with Apple Watch
Review the Date & Time settings on the iPhone, and let us know if "Set Automatically" is enabled. This page explains how to check: How to get updated time zone information for your Apple device
