How to Fix Apple Watch Exercise Ring Not Working?
Before we begin with the fixes, let’s check the basic factors. Check if you’re wearing the Apple Watch in the correct way. The watch must have a good grip on your wrist. If you notice that it’s loose, the watch will assume that you’re not wearing it at all. Similarly, make sure you’re also not wearing the watch too tightly on your wrist. This can make the watch not work properly or track your exercise poorly. But even after wearing the watch properly, you’re still having issues with it, you can refer to other solutions below:
Check Your Personal Information
If your user data, like gender, age, height, weight, and more, are incorrect on your watch, you’re more likely to get inaccurate results. So, it’s best to check the details on your phone. Here’s how you can do it: Once you’ve set the right data, you can try working out with your Apple Watch again and see if the results are accurate.
Optimize Settings for the Watch App
If your Apple Watch is not working properly, we recommend checking if most essential settings are turned on. For instance, we’ll need to enable Heart Rate, Wrist Detection, and Motion Calibration and Distance.
