Apple Watch Fitness Goal Glitch Affecting Monthly Challenge

Last month I was averaging 30-45 minutes on my exercise ring. However, there were 4 days where the watch glitched out and one day recorded 600 minutes and the other 3 days recorded over 1000 minutes of exercise. Now, my monthly challenge for December is to get 112 minutes of exercise for 14 days. I’m going to try to achieve it, but clearly there’s a problem. Is there anyway to remove those outliers (glitches) so that I am recommended more attainable fitness goals?

Hi there DolphinK11,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


We'd like to help with the fitness data that has been recorded. Take a look at the resource below to which app is providing the inaccurate data and if it can possibly be deleted.


Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch


Moving forwared, we recommend calibrating the Apple Watch to improve the accuracy of your activities. Follow the guidance in this Apple Support article: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support


Calibrate your Apple Watch
1.While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies. 
2.If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch. If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
3.Open the Workout app. To start, tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the ... icon.
4.Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.



Let us know if this helps you.


Cheers!
