How do I fix the motion sensor on my Apple Watch?
Your watch may need recalibrating. Start this process by opening the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap My Watch > Privacy > Motion & Fitness > Reset Calibration Data. Then follow Apple's calibration instructions.
How does Apple Watch accelerometer work?

The values reported by the accelerometers are measured in increments of the gravitational acceleration, with the value 1.
