During certain exercises like shoulder presses, my watch ultra will not detect every rep. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and what can be done to fix it. Also, what other issues people are experiencing during workouts and how they resolved them.

Rep counting issues, particularly with exercises like shoulder presses, can be tricky since they often don't involve as much wrist movement, which might make the watch less sensitive to detecting reps. However, with some adjustments to settings, fit, and software, you should be able to improve the watch's performance. If the issue persists, don't hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support, as they might have more insights or future updates to address these specific workout-related bugs.

That sounds good. But regarding the lack of wrist movement, I first noticed this issue during an exercise dubbed the 'Arnold Press', which is a shoulder press that requires your wrist to rotate as you press up. I've tried tweeking the fit of the watch as well as cleaning the sensors and my wrist to ensure there's a true confection. That brings me to software and maybe calibration. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
