Sep 3, 2015 3:46 AM in response to Rob_RSDby G3gator,Rob, That is weird. I assume you are meeting some threshold of speed in each of these. Apparently, each exercise requires a minimum level of speed to count as 'exercise.' As an example, yesterday I road my bike and got 2 minutes less 'exercise' than 'workout' minutes. Apparently, for two minutes during the ride, I was not meeting the minimum criteria for biking 'exercise.

Sep 3, 2015 5:37 AM in response to Rob_RSDby Bobokins12,What G3gator said makes some sense. But, since i'm a slight Apple fanboy, I need to defend Apple: It SHOULD log your cycling. This is a glitch in watchOS, or what G3gator said. Iv'e only had the watch for a day, but it has logged my cycling.

Sep 13, 2015 3:17 PM in response to Rob_RSDby Rob_RSD,Thank you both! I don't believe there is any threshold involved. If I set the exercise mode to "Outdoor Cycling", it logs nothing. If I set it to "Other", it logs the exercise just fine. While I don't like the fact that it apparently is an individual problem with my watch that isn't fixable with a hard reset, I'm glad it is working for others. This information is useful in that I can press Apple a little more.
May I ask you both what models you have? It will help me sort out whether it is a problem specific to my model or perhaps to my individual watch. It might well be a hardware problem. FYI, mine is a MJ3Y2LL/A, 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop. I see a software upgrade is coming out this Wednesday, 9/16. Perhaps that will help:

I am thinking you may have a hardware problem if you have rebooted and reset/re-paired.
My 'outdoor cycle' setting records exercise for almost all of my ride. I think it doesn't count the time spent standing at a traffic light as the exercise minutes are just few less than those shown for the workout.

Oct 2, 2015 3:57 PM in response to Rob_RSDby spike1h,I have the same problem. For example, I went out for a 15 mile ride today. Took about 70 minutes with a 12 mph on a hybrid. My watch counted me for 48 minutes (for some reason couldn't get GPS data even though phone was in my pocket) and 171 calories burnt. I did 45 minutes of yoga later in the day logged as other and it gave me all 45 minutes and 157 calories. Something seems not right. I think it might also have gotten worse with the watch update.
