Activity App

Hi

Try these steps:

• On your iPhone in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Wrist Detection - check that this is turned on.
• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Privacy > Motion & Fitness - turn Fitness Tracking off (or turn it on, if it is currently turned off).
• Restart both devices by turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
  • To turn your iPhone off: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; drag it to turn off. To restart, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
  • 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 back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
• If you turned Fitness Tracking off in step 2, now return to the setting and re-enable it.

The following steps may also help to improve the accuracy of estimations made by the Activity app and Workout app:

Calibrate your watch by following the instructions in the following support article:

• You may wish to reset your calibration data and start the process afresh:
  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Privacy > Motion & Fitness > tap on Reset Calibration Data.

Check that your personal information has been entered accurately (and keep it updated it over time):

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Health > Edit (upper-right).

You're most welcome! 🙂
