You may have to give it time to adjust. Several days is generally all it takes. It can also help to do a forced restart of your Apple Watch.
If your Apple Watch is stuck on the Apple logo - Apple Support

I upgraded to 27.0.1 and it didn’t cure the issue. Today I waved my arms about whilst exercising (as suggested) and it didn’t work and then there was another glitch - the exercise ring got stuck on 23 mins, meaning I had to reset. To recap, I’ve tried indoor runs which produced 260 cals instead of 400. The pace recorded was 19 mins/mile instead of 13 mins/mile. Recording an outdoor run indoors had little effect. However my outdoor walks are fine and the pace is faster than an indoor run! I’ll send another message to the tech team.

same issue here. Today my watch put me 2 mins behind my treadmill. I've read all the reddit boards.. done the reset, done the reboot and it's not getting any better. I am becoming increasingly frustrated. I just updated to 27.0.1 but read it won't fix the issue..

Is anyone seeing any positive results with indoor runs after updating to watch OS27? after doing the reboot and reset it gets better for that day but then regresses for my 2nd run. I am so so so frustrated.

I walked on the treadmill for 2.68 miles and got 1,451 steps. I was not holding the rails. This is impossible - that is over 9 feet per step. Whoever changed the app and the tracking is not into fitness.

Same! I’m getting about 1/3 of the distance I had before and less calories. I’m working harder to try and make up the difference. I have attempted the fix suggested but that hasn’t worked either, literally nothing has helped. I’m really not happy at all.

thanks. I agree nothing I'm doing is making it better. I am also going to continue to send messages to the tech team.

I ran 10km on my treadmill this morning and my watch put my almost 2kms behind.. I had to turn my watch off, it was beyond aggravating. I keep hoping for an update every.single.day.

I have walked 8 miles today in 4,575 steps - that is 9 feet per step. My stride is not that long. Can someone fix this?

Yes - have the same issue and many others have it. Indoor run calories and pace about half what it was before. WatchOS 27.0.1 has not fixed it.
