Whoops, I see that in your first pic now. You could try resetting the calibration if you haven't already.

Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
You can calibrate your Apple Watch to improve the accuracy of your distance, pace, and calorie measurements. Calibrating your watch can also help it learn your fitness level and stride, which improves accuracy when GPS is limited or unavailable.
Yeah I just tried it I’ll see at work tomorrow if it fixesWhoops, I see that in your first pic now. You could try resetting the calibration if you haven't already.

yr two screen shots, taken together, are interesting.
the only thing i can think of, is if those walking workouts were done at an extremely slow pace. or, were chosen by you as walking workouts, but the actual activity pattern you did was not recognizable by the watch as a typical walking pattern.
in this case, then no matter that you have started to record your walking as a walking workout, it will really only record exercise minutes if your pace of walking is at least a minimum pace. i have only encountered this when i first got my watch and i would set a shopping mall normal shopping activity as a walking workout. the workout was recorded much like your data. it couldn't figure out that a stop and go kind of walking pace was a workout.
however, the total number of bars on the exercise graph (1 bar representing 15 minutes) seems to indicate that your walking pace was not too slow to have triggered that minimum pace.
i do not remember that i ever was able to actually read what the minimum pace was. i think rather than a minimum pace, its the start and stop kind of walking pattern that might result in this kind of anomaly.

on my 16pro max and ultra 2 it worked every time and nothing has changed except i not have iPhone Air and Ultra 3 and another thing to note when i had the 17PM and ultra 3 it worked fine as well so something happened while pairing the ultra 3 to the air.
Did you travel and/or change timezones that day ? Reason I ask is that you have a bunch of exercise right up until midnight, did your walks end exactly at midnight or did they go across into the next day.
Sometimes a time zone change does strange things to how it's recorded or if you span midnight the exercise itself will be recorded as a complete time/distance but the rings maybe split between 2 days.

I had the *exact* same issue when I upgraded my U2 to watchOS 26. However since further updating to dev beta of 26.1 it works again. Maybe coincidence…?
I had a similar experience the other day, out on a walk and the rings weren't moving. A restart of the watch got them moving again, but didn't pick up the 'lost bits'

This fixed the issue thank youWhoops, I see that in your first pic now. You could try resetting the calibration if you haven't already.
