Apple Watch overnight resting calories

Prior to Updating with the new 17.1.2 iOS, my Apple Watch would burn resting calories when on charge overnight. I’d start the day with approx 500 calories. However, since the update, my count is at zero from putting my watch on.


Is there a way to get this back as I was able to track how many over my 2000 calories I had for weight loss.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10

It could be just a simple ‘handshake’ fail. That’s something that fairly frequently crops up in the wake of OS updates. It’s the first thing I’d test…so the suggestions below are geared towards checking for & resolving that.


Did you update software for both devices or only your phone? If the latter, then my first suggestion would be to check for watchOS update.


Then just give both devices a hard restart. That’s suggestion number two.


Hopefully that helps! Usually handshake issues resolve really easily. Sometimes they’re indicative of a software bug and they get patched in the next OS iteration. In any case, if your issue prsists, you can definitely ping us back for additional troubleshooting ideas. Or reach out to apple support.


Sidenote: Cycling power on your devices(s) can effectively nullify/wipe some malware types (including a lot of the really insidious ones), so it’s a good idea to do this after security updates anyways.
