Q: Why has my apple watch stopped tracking exercise?
My watch has suddenly stopped tracking exercise. I'm not terrifically active but I think I exercised more than 1 minutes worth today. The calories and steps are registering ok (I think). Anyone know why or how to fix it?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1

If your pattern of activity has not changed significantly, it may otherwise help to restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off together first, then restart your iPhone before restarting your watch:
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;
- To turn it on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue then persists, next try unpairing and re-pairing your watch:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes watch backups automatically, including a fresh one when unpairing via the app.
- Choose to restore your watch (Restore from Backup) when offered the option during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
