Every full minute of movement equalling or exceeding the intensity of a brisk walk counts toward your daily Exercise and Move goals.
If you take your iPhone with you and record your walk as a workout via the Workout app, GPS data can be used to estimate your distance and pace. Otherwise, it is important for your arm to swing naturally as you walk or run, because the watch relies on arm motion (tracked via the built-in accelerometer) to track movement.
Calibrating your watch will enable it to more accurately estimate various fitness and activity-related results (by teaching it how your arm movements relate to stride lengths at different speeds).
Calorie and other calculations also depend on your personal information. To check that this has been entered accurately and to update it over time:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > Edit (upper-right).
