Hey all,
I just installed iOS 9 beta public 3 on my iPhone 6 and have WatchOS 1.0.1.
Yesterday Exercise in Activity App was properly in green around the round but today it no longer moves, i don't program the exercise app, but I've never done and it worked correctly until this morning. Move and stand still working
I saw several people had this problem, you have found a solution?

Hi
I'm afraid we can't help you here with beta software - the terms of the program don't allow you to discuss it here either.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanx you for your response but i can lie in an another post and say i have iOS 8.4.1, what the matter ?
Need help, not this response.
"Don’t blog, post screen shots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software, and don't discuss the public beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program.
If you experience an issue or something does not work as expected, send your feedback directly to Apple with Feedback Assistant."
Ok Boss,
Thanx you for your help.
The exercise ring on Apple Watch requires activity above a "brisk walk" - with a sustained increase in heart rate for at least 1 minute - in order to give credit.
If you are not using the Workout app, it's important for your arm to swing naturally as you walk or run, because the Activity app relies on arm motion and the accelerometer to track movement.
Ensure that you have Wrist Detection turned on (Apple Watch iPhone app > General > Wrist Detection toggle).
You could test doing a workout, using the Workout app to start and end your activity. For example, try a brisk outdoor walk.

I'll gonna try but i think it's the problem, i didn't walk like you said.
Wrist Detection Toggle was turned on.
Thanks you for this help, i'll keep you informed if it works during the day.
Cordially.
You're welcome - good luck 🙂
That was the problem, thank you again.
I haven't moved my fat *** last night and when we're on the bike, it doesn't take the movement automatically if we don't configure it in Exercise.
Glad to help - thank you for confirming!
I've just been on a 32 minute outdoor walk with the workout app running but the exercise ring is showing only five minutes. Arm swing was natural (as far as I can tell) and average heart rate was 84BPM - I walked 'vigorously' throughout. This is the second time this has happened, both times on difficult terrain - steep hills and soft sand.
When I started using the workout app I calibrated it with iPhone connected (it was connected during today's walk too). Is is possible that my calibration walk was too fast and/or vigorous and the app is now not recognising what I'm doing as exercise? If so, how do I re-calibrate?
Hi Jon
According to Apple, "Every full minute of movement equalling or exceeding the intensity of a brisk walk counts toward your daily Exercise and Move goals. Any activity below the intensity of a brisk walk counts only toward your daily Move goal."
It is possible that your walk, although strenuous (especially given the terrain), did not meet the watch's determination of brisk exercise. Also check that you are wearing your watch snugly during exercise, which enables the heart rate sensors to work optimally.
Further calibration over time can improve the accuracy of calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise estimations. Note that the calibration instructions advise finding "an open, flat area outside that offers good GPS reception and clear skies".
Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
If you unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch, one of the few items of data that you do lose is calibration data (also synced playlists, cards used for Apple Pay on your watch and watch passcode) - so you could certainly do that:
OK, I'll give it a try - thanks.
I posted this in another thread -
So, I have been doing ALOT of research on this, and I am a bit of a spreadsheet geek. I started wondering, if it is based on pace/heart rate than there must be a specific heart rate that the apple watch is looking for. When I look at my watch when I am working out, it has me between 130 and 140. So then I went into the health app and looked at my heart rate data. During a workout, the watch checks your heart rate every 5 seconds. I used my Excel and i entered in all of my heart rate readings and what time they were taken. I took a 21 minute walk this morning, and only 11 minutes of it was credited to exercise. I analyzed my data, and there was only a total of 11 minutes where by heart rate was 75% or higher of my max heart rate. 75% of my max is 133, so everything that 133 or higher was counted. So right, wrong or infuriating, it would seem, according to my data, that if your HR is not at 75%, it will not be counted towards your exercise circle.
Dear Apple-please change the HR minimum to 70% . My legs can only walk so fast 🙂. Thank you.
