The watch makes activity calculations based on what it has that's available. No telling what would make it change, though. You may need to recalibrate it using these steps:


Here's how to reset your calibration data:

  1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app.
  2. Tap the My Watch tab, then tap Privacy > Reset Fitness Calibration Data.
