Walking

I am super frustrated as I have walked over 3 miles every day since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. None of these walks are reported to any walking challenge I join. I am trying so hard to do better for my health, my step challenges work but no walking challenge. I NEED the motivation and feedback that is missing here. Please fix. I am not the only one.

I think it is a vivio HR. I think I found how to set the activity. I will try it on my morning walk:)

Did you report your walking as Hiking or Walking? If you reported them as Hiking you need to change them to Walking.

I reported them all as walking since the day before Thanksgiving. I will attach the image. It is recorded as walking but it doesn’t show up in the challenges.

Did you record your walking with a Garmin device or did you create manual activities? Only those recorded with a Garmin device counts.

How do I make my watch record that I am walking? I walk 5k every day...I have to manually enter it every time.

You do it just like you record a run or bike ride but choose another activity type. Exactly how and what you can do depends on the watch. Check the manual for how to start an activity.

If you don't have walking in your watch you can change it afterwards in the app or the web.

Well, I don’t know how to do either of those either. It’s fine. It just would have been nice to earn badges.

Check the manual. What watch do you have?
