Apple Watch 9 recording activity incorrectly why is my Apple 9 Watch not correctly recording my activity. Did a 6.1 mile walk at 3.8 miles per hour taking 1 hour 37 minutes but my watch only recorded 46 minutes. My Adidas Running App recorded 1 hour 37 minutes. Same issue yesterday, but prior to yesterday and today would record the same time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch 7 flights climbed not recording Hi. I have an Apple Watch 7 and it does not record flights climbed. It does record steps and altitude gained when I run but not flights of stairs. I am in a three floor house so it should be recording them. Looking back in my history on health it recorded them until 9 January 2023 and then stopped! I have changed phones since then and reset my watch and updated all my updates. Any ideas?

Apple Watch not recording all exercise minutes My Apple Watch Series 10 cellular is no longer recording all of my walking exercise minutes when using the workout app. Everything was fine until I updated to WatchOS 26 and then after a few days it just stopped recording them all, you can actually see the drop off in the Activity app on my iPhone. It records the kcal and stand minutes just fine but the exercise minutes are very low. I’ve done a 30 minute walk without stopping and at a brisk pace and it’s only recorded 7 minutes. I’ve tried restarting it, resetting it, recalibrating it but nothing has worked.

Either choose Mixed Cardio workout or wear it on your ankle.
