what is a brisk walk?? 3mph? 2.8mph?
what used to trigger exercise minutes isn't working any more. I was able to fill the circles and track exercise well...now I have to use workout app and I don't want to.

Hi
The definition of a brisk walk varies from person to person and depends on your personal information. To check that this is accurate - and to update it over time:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > Edit - tap and adjust items, then tap on Done.
Calibrating your watch can improve the accuracy of estimations made by Activity app and Workout app, including for Exercise credit. More information and instructions for calibrating your watch are available via the link below. The article also explains how to reset existing calibration data and start the process afresh. Resetting your calibration data will not erase your Activity history.
During general daily wear and when using the Workout app to record workouts when GPS data is either not relevant or not available (eg Indoor Walk), the Activity app and Workout app track your arm motion (measured by the accelerometer) when estimating results including Exercise credit. For the best results, allow the arm on which you are wearing your watch to swing naturally as you move around and during workouts (where relevant to the activity type).
If you have not yet done so, it may also help to 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
