When I go for a 90 minute walk, sometimes it counts as (up to) 15 minutes of exercise.
Is a workout "exercise" when your pulse rate is above 100 beats per minute? ...
or above a pulse rate calculated taking into account you age, ¿and weight? or what?

Make sure that you earn Move and Exercise credit
Every full minute of movement that equals or exceeds the intensity of a brisk walk counts toward your daily Exercise and Move goals. For wheelchair users, this is measured in brisk pushes. Any activity below this level counts only toward your daily Move goal.
To make sure that you earn Exercise credit during walks, allow the arm with your Apple Watch to swing naturally. For example, while walking your pet, let the arm with your watch swing freely while the other holds the leash.
If you need both hands while walking, for example to push a stroller, you can still earn Exercise credit with the Workout app. Open the app on your Apple Watch and tap Outdoor Walk. The Activity app relies on arm motion and an accelerometer to track movement, but the Workout app can use the accelerometer, the heart rate sensor, and GPS.
