Apple Watch counting exercise but not calories

Hi,

See if restarting your iPhone and Apple Watch makes a difference.

iPhone

1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo

Apple Watch

1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

If that doesn't help, calibrate your Apple Watch.

Hi

The following steps may help:

Close all open apps on your iPhone, including the Activity app:

• On your iPhone: double-press the Home button, then swipe up on each of the app previews to close them.

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 your iPhone and watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:

• Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you turned Fitness Tracking off in step 2, now return to the setting and re-enable it.

If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:

• Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
