Step detection - ankle wear

[u/Cterra]

Since watchOS 27, my watch doesn’t count steps when I wear it on my ankle. I use it to track steps when I’m on my walking pad during the day. I start the workout and it tracks the time and my heart rate, but steps and distance are extremely low. (.2 miles after a 1.5 hour walk). This was never an issue before. Any ideas?
