Watch activity not accurate

My Apple Watch series 5 is not tracking activity accurately. I’m averaging 12-20 moving calories per day, while it says I’m standing for 24 per day. The exercise minutes appear to be correct. Is there a way to re-set the calibration for better accuracy? I’ve already tried to reestablish fitness data (in the watch app, under privacy).

what can I do?

Apple Watch series 4 - no longer tracking high intensity interval training active calories correctly For the last week my Apple Watch has been incorrectly calculating active calories burned during my workouts. I used to burn almost 300 calories (with the same workout), that I am not only getting about 125 calories burned. I tracked this against a number of different workouts over the last week and the watch is calculating less than half of what it used to. I tried everything - re-calibrated, checked allot he recommended settings, did an outdoor walk, etc. All software is up to date on both my iPhone and iWatch and this didnt help. I also force re-started both and this didnt fix the problem either. Please help. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple watch not tracking exercise? I have a new Apple watch series 6 and it is not tracking my exercise. Every morning I do a 25 min brisk incline walk on my treadmill and typically burn about 220 total cals (and I always get the full 25 mins counted towards my green exercise ring). This morning, I tracked the workout the same way that I always do and only burned 120 cals and got 0 mins counted towards my green exercise ring. My heart rate was up the whole time (148 bpm). Like I said, yesterday was the complete opposite, my treadmill workout counted towards my exercise ring. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix this issue? Thanks!

Yes sure, actual calibration is suggested as the first remedy. See the details here:

If that is not helping, unpairing and re-pairing would revert your watch back to factory settings, while keeping your apps and data intact.
