I Went for a 20 minute outdoor walk today using the Workout app, with my phone GPS on And I didn't get credit for even one minute. I had my hands in my pockets because it was cold but given I was using gps, shouldn't it have given me credit in the exercise ring?
I go to the gym for an hour in the mornings. Spend half my time on the treadmill and the other half on the strength and stretching machines. I noticed it hadn't been counting towards exercise. It was saying that I took so many steps and such speed for such distance, but still not exercise. I tried the workout ap which counted as a work out and did what it was supposed to but still did not count anything towards my exercise goal. This is very frustrating as I switched from the Fitbit to the Apple Watch hoping for more accuracy. Apple needs to find a real fix for this.
Great! Good to hear. I have human. I'll try that.
Thank you! That's really helpful. I'll give it a try
I have Human too. Do you have ALL categories on so Human writes to Health or just the ability to read data?
It writes to Health.
Thank you George. I was worried by doing that it would duplicate data but I guess Apple is smart enough to now allow that in the data. At least I hope. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
I just had this problem after pairing from a backup. It was solved, for me, by a hard reset of the apple watch [press and hold both buttons until restart]. All metrics now being counted
Thanks , I did many times , I posted that for everyone to know the frustration Apple caused , it’s a shame Apple don’t care 😄
Out of 42 mins walk only 22 mins were recorded on watch , everyone tell Apple to wake up and fix this issue , there is no other smart watch has this problem !!!
I just tried this. We'll see how it goes!
Thanks again , I’ve already done that , watch setup added like new , all previous data was gone , nothing new with outdoor walk issue still problematic!!!
If you do this doesn’t it delete all of your history ?
2018, and this issue still isn't really answered by apple. The exercise rings are pathetic - we need a third party solution to this, because the Apple Activity app is complete rubbish.
I don't understand this at all. I don't walk that fast and my rings close just fine. Please explain why this is.
Apple watch exercise not counting
