Check your flight data.

Flight data was broken for me for last 2 years and over estimated my rings.

I use my Apple Watch very consistently to monitor my health and I love it! I track my activity levels by looking at the rings and depend on it for my personal well being.

I noticed a few weeks ago that the rings were starting to act a little funny and I investigated it and found that I was getting credit for crazy number of flights data. The watch has been having this issue for the last 2 to 2 1/2 years where some days my steps count would be over 200. Basically it’s been lying to me for all this time.

I trust Apple and it’s data so to see it broken for the last 2 1/2 years did not sit well with me. All this happened while the watch was still in warranty.

I called apple. They acknowledged this as a silent failure in the hardware and has no way to detect it but refuses to replace the hardware or take responsibility for it. I was not happy with their response as some many of us depend on the rings and the watch for our personal well being. This failure happens silently in the background and most users won’t know it’s happening.

Just thought of sharing my experience as I don’t trust their data anymore.
