Incorrect recording hours exercise Since the last update my watch is incorrectly recording hours and hours of exercise and standing time. I get up in the morning and my green ring starts spinning and says I’ve done 355 minutes of exercise and stood for 12 hours during the night. It’s done this 3 times in the last week. I have latest updates on phone and watch.

Why is my activity ring showing incorrect exercise minutes on my Apple Watch? Hi, My move ring has logged that I have done 973 minutes of excercise, which I havnt, but then it has logged the correct calories for my move ring. I have reset, switched off, unpaired, recalibrated my phone and watch. Anyone know how I can fix this! Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch "Activity" and "Activity Rings" do not record proper time or calories I noticed before that it seems like maybe Activity is designed not to let you "cheat", for example if you start a workout and then just sit on the couch it doesn't log minutes, which it probably shouldn't. But also if you do a workout and forget to stop it until it prompts you or even just have a few minutes of inactivity before you stop it, it will recognize a 30 minute workout as 9 minutes, for example. Very annoying and buggy. Today I went for a brisk 36 minute jog and made sure to stop the workout immediately at the end of the workout. The Activity Ring shows 6 minutes. Why? Everything else recorded the workout accurate. All my apps that read from Apple Health show a 36 minute workout. Apple Health shows a 36 minute workout including my path on the map. However apps the read Apple Health also show two line items "Active Energy" only 6 minutes and 35 calories plus "jogging" 36 minutes 312 calories shows. This is double counting because the whole thing was 36 minutes, not 36 + 6. This is obnoxious and annoying. Even more ridiculous, a watch notification popped up and said "congratulations, you've worked out 7/7 days this week" so it is detecting the workout (obviously, I started and stopped it manually). Is there a fix?

It sounds like your watch is misbehaving!

This will usually fix a naughty watch, try it first:

Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support

Next, you can double check these things:

If ALL off those processes don't seem to fix it, try calibrating your watch:

Have an excellent day :-)
