You should recalibrate your Apple Watch for improved accuracy using these steps:

The Exercise Ring also advances each minute one of the following is true:
Pace is lower than 18'10"/MI (11’29"/km) e.g. Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run
Speed is higher than 9.5 mph (15.5 km/h) e.g. Outdoor Cycling
Also make sure that your watch is worn tight enough. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204665

Today I walked on a treadmill for 30 minutes at 4MPH and it only recorded 17 minutes. Similarly, I walked an hour at same pace yesterday and it didn’t record it as exercise at all. I used the “workout” option “indoor walk open goal”. It does appear to record the steps however.
