Watch series 9 NFC and Gym eqipment

I’ve recently got the series 9 watch and tried connecting it to a treadmill at my gym. Instead of opening up the workout app and starting the workout it opens Apple Pay instead. Any ideas on what to do here? I want to be able to track my runs accurately

why is apple watch not tracking fitness workout I recently purchased a watch for my wife birthday over the weekend. Th e watch was purchased to specifically track her workouts but for some reason in the fitness app, it is not tracking. So for example and she bikes ride each day, it is not tracking the workout. It will track her runs but not the bike ride.

Apple Watch not connecting properly to Matrix treadmill The gym I use has Matrix equipment. I have previously successfully paired my watch to the treadmill with no issues. I tried to pair today and it connects, allows the choice of workout (I pick indoor run) but then instead of starting the workout on the watch, it opens up the Fitness app as if to select a workout. The run is going on the treadmill but with no calories shown (as it will usually get this data from the watch). When I start an indoor run on the watch from this state, it starts a separate workout that isn’t matched up to the treadmill. My previous run was early December, perhaps a watch update has caused an issue? I tried two different treadmills so I think either a watch or treadmill software issue.

Is the equipment supported?

The watchOS 10.6.1 update should have solved this issue. Have a look at the latest posts in this discussion:
