Hey Samsung Community,

I am on my 2nd Watch 9 after my first one stopped tracking my daily activity within the 14 day return window. Samsung support was not able to help and suggested repair, but since I was within the window I opted for return and purchase new (they don't outright replace!).

I just got my new one last week, and after a software update yesterday it stopped tracking again! I've been moving around for an hour, and 0 steps, calories or active time. Unless I have my phone on me I get no steps at all. Everything else works. I can track workouts, take blood pressure/ECG, it's tracking sleep. Just no activity.

Yes, I've done all the common troubleshooting steps, restart watch and phone, check for recent software across the Health app and my watch, ran diagnostics, etc. with no luck. Outside of completely resetting and starting fresh. Has anyone else had this same issue? Any tricks for fixing?

      Hi @HuskyUbu,

      Thank you for reaching out to the Samsung Community. That whole situation sounds really frustrating, and we'd love to help.

       

      First, to add to what @ggwv mentioned, if this is a bug, you may want to submit an error report.

      Also, have you tried resetting the watch? If not, do you have your watch backed up so that you don't lose any information?

      Has it stopped tracking everything, or are only certain features affected?

       

      Please let us know so we can better assist you.

      Only the daily activity stopped working. All other features worked fine, including tracking steps when I selected "Walking" for exercise. Just not normal daily steps, active time, calories. I did reset my watch and that worked for now. But it also worked for about a week before on both Watch 9s before just stopping. So I'm not confident it will continue. I hope the answer is not always reset the watch and Samsung actually fixes this issue. It's a pain to reset, especially when you need to recalibrate for blood pressure measurement.

      @HuskyUbu, thanks for getting back to us. Since the factory reset only worked for a short period of time, we suggest clearing the cache for the Samsung Health app on your watch.

       

      To do this, go to Settings > Apps > App List, then find and select Samsung Health. Tap Force Stop, then Clear Cache. This may provide similar benefits to the factory reset and help resolve the issue.

      If you haven't already, I also recommend submitting an error report so the issue can be investigated further.

       

      Please let us know if these steps work for you as well!

      Today September 28th my watch9 stopped tracking activity yet again. I submitted an error report and we'll just have to reset my watch yet again. I'm so disappointed in this watch. I should have stuck with my watch 8.

      I'm experiencing the same issue with the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 that I just got a few days ago. I also have tried doing the same things that you did in attempt to fix the problem, but nothing corrected it.

      My other watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic, is not experiencing this issue (I believe because the older series of watches have the older software versions).

      I submitted an error report a month ago. It's very disappointing that this is still an ongoing issue. I really hope they get this fixed soon!

      They responded back to me in the beginning of October with the same response you received. Unfortunately, with no date as to when the update to correct this would be rolled out.

      My Galaxy watch 9 was working fine until I did the restart for the time zone update. Now my steps aren't tracking.

      I encourage you to submit an error report, link in this thread. I did so and actually got a response. They said the issue would be resolved in a future update. The more that report maybe the faster they will fix it!
