Does the watch learn your resting heart rate to help configure "brisk" HR?

My 65 year old husband has a VERY low resting heart rate which hovers around 48-53 bpm. When we go out for a brisk walk, his heart rate gets up into the 70's or 80's which is plenty high for him, yet he gets zero minutes credited towards the green exercise ring. I wonder if it's calibrated to a person who's resting heart rate is around 72 and is young enough to need to get above 140 bpm to be considered "brisk". Polar has an app where it measures your resting heart rate so you get a more accurate picture of what 70% of Max HR.Apple, tell me you don't have a "one size fits all" code in your Watch.
