Stairs time goal

I want to do a stairs activity for 5 minutes. But every time the starting goal is 3 hours 17 minutes. It doesn’t matter how many times I change it to 5 minutes and do the activity it always goes back to 3 hours 17 minutes next time.

Try setting the workout top an Open Goal first and do the workout. Then see if the goal will reset.


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
