Move goal going crazy

Why is my move goal massively overstated? It has been happening for about a week now, today it says I have achieved 1134% of my 700cal goal. I definitely have not!! Anyone have any ideas on the issue and how I can fix? I’ve tried restarting watch/phone.

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.
