Activity records getting superseded by lower ones!

[iamasmith]

I went out yesterday for a walk, nothing major just a 90 min walk and was surprised to see that I had beat my walking workout record having burned 509 calories.

My previous walking workout record was set on 16th June this year over 4 hours of walking with a 1,940 calorie burn.

Two things have changed,

1. iOS 13.1.1
2. I now have 2 Apple Watches and this was the 2nd walk I've done on my new Apple Watch.

I'm wondering now if there's a bug with the Activity history on WatchOS 6.

Oh, one other thing was that I renamed the original Apple Watch to reflect that it was an S3 in the watch app.

Have you change the order of devices in Apple health on the Data sources & Access section? I had to do that with my wife’s watch and then stuff started tracking properly.

I don't actually seem to be able to change the order of the devices in there.. maybe this was possible in iOS 12 but it's not in the app any more, it's under Health in Settings.

After a long conversation with Apple they "confirmed to me that all Watches maintain their own awards".... really?? I restarted the watch and my phone and I got my original award back :/

On phone (iOS 13): Apple Health app / Summary screen / tap Active Energy / scroll to bottom / Data Sources & Access / tap edit in top R. corner / change order of data sources to give priority order to how you want it.

Thanks, well tucked away!.. this view is a lot more manageable than the one in settings, that seems to have a ton of micro measurements.

Anyway, the issue does seem to have resolved itself by restarting both my iPhone and my Apple Watch so 'fingers crossed' it's not going to recur. I'm assuming that some system service on the iPhone glitched when I renamed the devices.
