How to I recalibrate my Apple Watch



How do I recalibrate my Apple Watch for walking on a treadmill? It gives me much lower stats than the treadmills.

See the "Make sure that you earn Move and Exercise credit" section in:

You should also make sure your watch is calibrated:

However when on a treadmill, if you are holding onto a handrail the watch has no way to know how many steps you are taking.
