Hi there


Please try this


  • Recalibrate Your Watch: You can reset your fitness calibration data to help the watch relearn your stride and pace:
    1. Open the Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone.
    2. Tap My Watch > Privacy > Reset Fitness Calibration Data. 
  • Check Motion and Fit: Ensure your watch is worn snugly on your wrist, as arm movement and motion sensors feed directly into the new step-estimation algorithm.

Sadly I tried that yesterday and I think it made it worse.
