Unable to correct health details in Watch app

Within the watch, the health app is defaulting to an incorrect weight (1400 lbs!) which is skewing estimates of calories burned. After I update within the watch app to the correct weight it still defaults to 1400 lbs. The phone Health app IS saving the correct weight. I guarantee that my smart scale never recorded a weight of 1400 lb so I know that is not the problem.

Apple Watch fitness unit measurement wrong. Is anyone having issues with their Apple Watch with the units of measurements? My watch has changed from calories to KJ’s & despite both the settings on my phone and my watch having the unit of measurement set as “calories”, it continues to display as kj’s instead. Any advice?

Apple Watch resting calories incorrect during workout but correct at end workout My Apple Watch Series 4 has always worked great, especially tracking my workouts. Since the last update I’ve noticed that during the workout the resting calories being burned are recorded as incredibly high and blatantly incorrect, but when I end the workout the resting calories display as what I would expect the accurate count to be. For example, during the workout my active calories will be at 50 but the resting calories will be at 450, but if I end the workout the display will show active calories 50 and resting calories 80. I’ve already repeatedly checked health/workout settings (none of which have been changed), restarted my phone and watch (together and separately), and neither require software updates. Help!

Health app does not calculate my resting energy when my Apple Watch is off and charging I’ve had an ongoing issue for over a year where on seemingly random nights, Apple Health does not calculate my resting energy during the time that my watch is off and charging. When working correctly, apple health uses your health data (height, weight, etc) to enter these baseline, estimated calories when you aren’t wearing your watch. Three nights this week, these hours show no resting energy at all. In the past, unpairing and pairing the watch to my phone has solved this problem, but it isn’t helping this time. I’ll attach a screenshot of a day when it generated the info properly and a night where it failed to do so. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
