A common complaint among Apple Watch users is that their exercise and movement tracking isn’t as accurate as they would like. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to fix this issue.

First, make sure that location services are turned on in your settings, and then go to system services to ensure motion calibration and distance are turned on. Once that’s set up, take a 20-minute outdoor walk with your iPhone to calibrate the Apple Watch to your movement.

If activity still isn’t being tracked accurately after this, you may need to reset the fitness calibration data. This will wipe any previous calibration data and will require you to take another 20-minute walk to recalibrate.

Additionally, installing Apple Watch updates can also improve accuracy. While it may take some time, following these steps should result in more accurate activity tracking on your Apple Watch.
