I spoke to support today about the activity not working when trying outdoor cycling. Can anyone try it to see if it records speed/distance. Just take your phone and have a walk around the garden.
Mine just has lines instead of speed/distance so isn't even trying to record GPS info. https://www.avforums.com/attachments/imageuploadedbyavforums1431364068-572650-jpg.585616/
Yeah mined picked up speed fine on outdoor cycle I'm afraid to say mate.

Ok thanks. I've sent the log off to Apple. What phone are you using?
iPhone 6 Plus running 8.3
Same as me. Support said someone else had the same problem. I might try a reset on the watch.
Yeah I would. Power down both devices. Repair Bluetooth etc.
Have you checked all your settings on your iPhone too? For example motion tracking in location services-system services.
It track fine with outdoor walk/run but when you start the outdoor cycle the distance reads 0ft then immediately goes to the lines in the pic above so looks like a bug rather than something serious.
I've reset and having same issue.
By 'reset' do you mean, unpair and restore from backup?
No. Just normal reset.
I had problems with the 'stand' functions, so followed the instructions here.

When you pair the iPhone and the Watch again you can opt to restore the backup that is made during the unpair process.
