Active calories only goes up on logged activity

My activity level is set at 8. Im 6'3 213 lbs 42 Male. Garmin says I burn 2350 calories per day.

I just logged a 15 minute walk it shows 100 calories burned. But I can go for a 3 hour walk in addition to a very active day and if I dont tell my watch im going for a "walk" I get 0 extra calories burnned. The day will end with me at 2350 + 100 from the logged walk.

I know years ago with a different garmin watch it was not like this. If I walked around my living room I could see the active calores go up. Now active calories only go up from logged activity.

Check if Activity Tracking is turned on, either online or directly on the watch.

Connect: Device Settings → Activity Tracking

Watch: → Menu → Settings → Activity Tracking

... also verify whether your watch is set up as your Primary Wearable Device. If you kept your old watch as the primary device, the non-activity Active Calories may be expected to be coming from there.
