I have a Series 5 watch, and on Saturday it recorded that I had walked 19,000 steps, 8.9 miles. I did not workout that day at all, and my actual steps/miles should have been more like 8,000 steps 5 miles at the most.

Then on Sunday, I went on a 1.4 hour hike, 2.5 miles, and it only recorded 20 minutes of exercise, even though the hike workout data showed the 1.4 hour hike. I checked during the hike, and the watch was registering heart beat, etc.

Any ideas why this is happening? It's the first time since I got the watch. And yes, I did try rebooting.
