User level: Level 1 (75 points)I have a schedule set for my activity goals on Apple Watch (fitness app). For some reason, the goals change on their own. I have verified my schedule, but the goals change by themselves. Is there a fix for this or is it just a bug? I’m running watchOS 27.0.1 and iOS 27.0.1.

Apple Watch can use a different Activity goal for each day of the week, and it also suggests goal changes based on your previous activity. However, your scheduled goals shouldn’t keep changing unexpectedly.
Try opening the Activity app on your watch, selecting the rings, and going to Change Goals -> Change Daily Goal -> Schedule.
Check each day’s settings and select Set Schedule to save them. You can also compare the schedule in the Fitness app on your iPhone.

I'm having the same issue after updating to IOS27. I have an iPhone Pro Max 4 and an Ultra 3 watch.
In the Fitness app on my phone, I have the following scheduled goals and these match the scheduled goals on my watch:
Move
M-F: 520 cal
S-S: 260 cal
Exercise
M-F: 70 min
S-S: 20 min
Stand
M-F: 12 hrs
S-S: 6 hrs
Since the upgrade, each day fitness shows random goals for each ring. For example, today was 100 cal move, 15 min exercise, and 5 hrs stand. This happens daily even though the schedule goal numbers don't change and this has been going on since the OS upgrade. I've reset the phone and the watch, as well as repaired both.
Is there a fix for this issue?

I haven’t found a fix yet. Weird bug. The schedule is the same on my iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch yet it randomly changed on its own.
