does activity tracker reset each day?

I just got my apple watch yesterday, Friday evening. But expected it to reset the activity tracker Saturday but it has continued counting steps and burning calories. I thought it would reset each day so you could start a new in crushing your previous day? How is this done so it automatically does it? Or do I have to manually re-set it?

Hi

Your Apple Watch should certainly reset your Activity app goals and totals each day, after midnight.

The following steps may help:

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

Restart both your iPhone and your watch:

Unpair and re-pair your watch:

The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app. Choose to Restore from Backup during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
