Workout/Activity Bug on 1.0.1

Yes, This is a problem I have been having since the beginning. Am almost ready to trash the app. I am rarely given credit for total workout. and this happened even before the upgrade. Some days it would work fine and others, it would record way short of actual time.What is the deal?

This is happening to me as well since the upgrade.

Same here. Since the update, the Exercise ring acts rather erratically. I walked with my dog for 20 minutes and it registered 20 min... that is OK. Then I went to play a single tennis match for 1.5 hrs and it registered only 2 minutes! Even I run my heart beat up to 140 several times during that 1.5 hard hitting match. If I walk or run, it seems to be OK but it does not seem to recognize sports like single tennis match? Does the software has anything against tennis?

Same here after the update. I walked 1h 30 minutes and the activity app recorded only 5 minutes.

Oh man - guess I will have to apologize to my wife. We went for a walk on the beach this afternoon and even though we walked almost 3 miles for a total of a bit over 55 minutes I was only credited with about 2-3 minutes. (And I blamed her for walking too slowly.)

I'm having exactly the same issue since the update. I also got no credit when I did some gardening, which I used to get. And the heart rate monitor is acting very erratic during normal activity when I'm not using the exercise app for a specific activity. It jumps around a lot. Today it recorded 36 at one point and 215 at another. I know I'm never that low or that high, even when I'm exercising. It's really buggy since the update. I hope they get it fixed soon. It's very frustrating.

I'm having the same problem. A 30 -45 minute walk will add 1 to 2 minutes to my workout total. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my heart rate. I'm 63 years old and my resting heart rate is in the mid 50's. So a brisk walk will bring my heart rate to the low to mid 70's - the resting heart rate of most people. So am I not getting credit for a brisk walk because I'm in really good shape?

Yup, the very same problem. Worked great before the update, now gives me little-to-no credit for workouts despite now working out longer and harder.

This evening:

Same issue here since 1.0.1 update. At best I get credited for half of the outdoor walk, at worst none at all. Before updating the exercise ring was filling at the expected rate, now it is very inconsistent without any changes to the workout.

If I select "other" as the workout type it gets credited exactly as it should, but pace and distance are not recorded (as expected). I'll try with indoor walk and run to check if this makes any difference.

Same problem here, and definitely only started after OS upgrade. I feel cheated going for a brisk half hour walk and only getting credited for 2 minutes! Is there a heart rate or calorie threshold that determines when 'Movement' becomes 'Exercise'?

If you activate your Workout app and set a goal and press start... the calories and time of exercise can be saved and credited to the Activity rings. When I play tennis, I just choose Other activity. Wish I don't have to add this step and I hope they fix it like before the update.
