User level: Level 1 (5 points)my series 12 watch will not count my elliptical steps like my series 8 and series 10 did perfectly. Does anyone else have the problem and if you were able to fix it? What did you do to fix it?

Make sure Elliptical is picked as the workout type, and Fitness Tracking is on in Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness. Then try Watch app > Privacy > Reset Fitness Calibration Data and do a 20 minute outdoor walk with GPS. A new watch also takes a few weeks of data to learn your stride.

I'm having similar problem with my Series 8 actually. The steps count does work, but like in Clockology's app, I am not seeing any data bar progressing. Same with the data ring, and Activity Chart for the Steps. Also in the Health app, it's way off.
