watchOS 5.0.1 actually broke activity tracking

For me 5.0.1 update has CREATED the problem it intended to fix.


Since updating this morning to 5.0.1 my exercise minutes and step count/distance are still at zero at 1pm. Stand is accurate. I cycle to work and on my feet 90% of the day.


I have a series 2. Have left feedback with Apple.

Anyone else having this problem?

No problem. Would be cool to get the helpful or resolved, but I think you've applied that to yourself... It's a strange problem to have. I've seen it a few times. I think something crashes and doesn't restart in the OS somewhere to do with the motion monitoring properly... I'm willing to bet you didn't have heart rate recorded in that time also, since I think that might be the cause
