Hi guys, I own the Samsung galaxy watch 4 46mm classic. Well when I go to work out on my cycling bike at the gym it's not automatically detecting my workout. I use to own the galaxy active watch 2 classic. That one actually detected after 10mins of continuously riding the bike. My watch is up to date (software wise) and I do have the auto detection on (along with all the choices of detection you want on.) I can't seem to figure out if this watch just doesn't do it in general or if I have to do something else? If anybody can help me out, or needs more information on the issue, please feel free to get a hold of me. Thank you very much yours truly, -Derek.

I would try on finding a youtube video on how to diagnose it, if Samsung had a self - diagnose feature, go there and test all features, if it's all fine, then my advice would be to test it by running? Perhaps the watch activates when moving your arm.

Thank you for reaching out Derek. I can certainly understand your concern with the auto-detect cycling workout not working for you and I would be happy to look into this further for you. Just to clarify, are you using these steps in this link to set up your cycling auto-detection: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00083510/

Please note under Step 4, the cycling autodetect workout feature is not available for the Watch4, Watch5, and watch 6.
