Apple Watch not counting exercise

So tried to reach the Apple Watch goal twice today. Went on a walk twice but only registering less than half the minutes for the exercise.

So for those of you that may think i’m a slow walker i’m not and through every iteration of Apple Watch this has never been a problem.

I have an iPad, iPhone, Mac and MacBook but getting fed up with the poor quality and overpriced products. I’ve been loyal for over 20 years but i’m Seriously considering switching to a whole new OS.

Please make the products work for their intended use.

Apple Watch exercise ring on WatchOS 5 broken Ever since the upgrade to WatchOS 5 the exercise ring is grossly under counted. Not only does it never count exercise without telling it I am doing a workout, but on moderate workouts I start myself it does not count all the minutes as exercise. It seems like the Apple programmer has set a very high threshold for calling it exercise. I do my cooldown on the treadmill at a 20 minute mile pace and it only counts about 25 minutes of the 30 minute walk. The auto workout detection never works on a walk, and even on a vigorous (for me I am old) eliptical it doesn't ask me to start the workout until 4 minutes into the run. Even then I have to take my hands off the elliptical to tell the watch it really is a workout. Not only is the auto detection worthless but the under counting of exercise minutes is very annoying.

Cannot Setup cardio fitness on Apple Watch 7 I got an Apple Watch 7 (running 8.5.1) about 2 months ago and I have an iPhone SE (MHFF3LL/A - about a year old - running 15.4.1). I have logged 11outdoor walk workouts over 30 minutes in duration (plus others of shorter duration, and many other types of workouts). All of these show up in my Fitness app, but my health app does not register my Cardio Fitness - it just says No Data. I have followed all of the calibration steps and setup procedures I can find here and elsewhere online, but I cannot setup cardio fitness. How do I get cardio fitness to work with my apple watch & iPhone?

How to Change Fitness Goals on Apple Watch Series 1 Hello All! I recently received a hand-me-down Apple Watch for Christmas, and I I wanted to be able to tweak my Move, Exercise, and Stand Goals on the Fitness app, but I don't seem to be able to. I've tried the way Apple support recommends currently for Series 3 watches (swiping up on Activity) but the option does not pop up for me. I've also tried pressing and holding on both the Activity wheel and the 'Move' section of the stats layout. Any help would be great, but ultimately I just want to fiddle with my device. It is currently running watchOS 6.3, if that helps.
