Not accurate time on walking workouts.

Hi,

My watch is not recording my total walking workout. I walk every morning around a track for thirty minutes. Today it logged Four minutes. It has done this before and I checked that all my apple products were up to date and I restarted everything.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

To earn 1 minute of exercise credit(green ring);

Travel a full minute at a brisk walking pace 3.3 mph or 18 minutes per mile approx.

or

5.3kph or 11.3 minutes per kilometer.

Raise your heart rate to approx 75% of your maximum.

When you're at around or above this heart rate and speed for the entire minute you'll receive 1 exercise minute credit.

If you pause or slow down during this minute then you won't get any exercise credit for that minute.


Source;phone call I had with apple support.

That can’t be it. I walked my dog for forty minutes the watch logged thirty. We stop a lot and averaged 21 minutes a mile; slower than the previous walk.

if you insist it is the problem; my question is can that be adjusted as my walking rate average is @20 minutes per mile?

Use the "other" workout type,you will close your ring and you can walk as slow as you like.
