My Apple Watch recently stopped tracking indoor/outdoor walks. It will not count as exercise minutes. The only thing that works is the “other” workout option. Has anyone else had this issue?

I had a Cardiac Arrest during October, an Asthma Attack two weeks ago, a broken finger that has healed incorrectly, and two ribs that are a bit how ya goin' still from the CPR.

But I'm on the mend and joining this page has motivated me even more. If anybody would like to be accountability buddies for Apple Watch Fitness/ Health please private message me :-)

Hey! I’m wondering if anyone has any feedback or troubleshooting tips. My December challenge has not populated either on my watch or phone under the fitness app. I have restarted both with no luck. Thank you!!

New to Apple Watches coming from using Garmin for run logging, over so far a great experience. Out on a a 10k run today, wanted to pause at 5k for a breather instead i pressed end. On my Garmin this isn’t an issue as I can go back and resume, this doesn’t seem to be an option on Apple Watch. I can’t merge the runs after either, a quick google suggests this has been an issue since 2018. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion?

I have to move from the samsung to the apple ecosystem so I want a valuable tracker for my fitness.

Until now I had samsung galaxy 6 and it worked pretty well until recently where it stopped the sleep tracking for some reason. It also had one or the other hickup on some general things, but the sleep tracker really made me reconsider buying another. I have it for 1 year so even tho it was worth the buy(first watch ever) I still would have hoped for a bit more.

My goto wants from the watch are:

- workout tracking(as in being able to pick which workout and get some valuable data on heartrate and burned calories as well as workout duration)

- sleep tracking(if possible to distinguish between each sleep phase and give me data on when I was awake)

- body composition on hight and weight to give me valuable data about current bodyfat

- step count is pretty much a given

The rest is optional, but I really need those.

I see watches in the range of 230€ to 1050€ and would like to avoid buying the expensive ones just for them being expensive.

Can you suggest me an apple watch that posseses all these features?

Thanks

27 y/o male with a background it running but haven’t ran in over 7 years. Quit smoking after about a decade of use and began training for a marathon at the start of September. My V02 max jumped from 35.3 to 51.3! Super proud of this as I was getting the low cardio fitness notification daily. Started out barely able to run 400 meters without stopping and now run 10 miles nonstop 4 times a week.

Curious to see thoughts on the accuracy of the Apple Watch? I keep telling people I burn close to 1000 calories on certain workouts and I’m told it’s impossible. Even google doesn’t believe me. I do keep an average heart rate of 160 during this workout so I know it should be a high calorie burn but 1000 is pretty high. Just curious to see the Apple Watch is a little off?

Does anyone else have an issue burning calories when it’s pull day (biceps, backs, traps)? Cause I can barely burn 200 to save my life

I am doing the Norwegian 4*4 with 3 minute walk between running intervals. I run at 95% of max heart rate. Apple Watch classify it as “moderate” effort. What am I missing.

Are there any apps that present a “daily suggested workout” that takes into account my experience level and biometrics?

For example, I go for a run and struggle, the next day it shortens my suggested workout.

Or I work out hard on Monday, on Tuesday or recommends I do some light stretching .

Sorry I know it’s been asked already but can’t really find a straight answer. If I’m doing a mix of walking and running like running 1 minute then walking 3 can I just set it to outdoor run and it will know when I’m walking, I know you can add a new exercise each time you change but that’s a lot of fiddling around and it resets the total time and calories with each workout making it harder to see a total

Atm I have a series 2 and looking for a new Apple Watch, but I don’t know which one I should buy. I use it mostly for exercise and daily use and would like something with a good battery but my budget is not the best😬 does anybody know how much of a difference there is between the series 7 and 8? I looked at the apple website but it doesn’t look like there are much of a difference between the two

Do you manually set your heart rate zones, or do you let the Apple Watch determine them? What is your reason for your choice?

So this was a day I simply went to work and came home. My job is a night shift security officer. I sit most of my 8 hour shift and might get up a couple times and check people in or out. Then I go home and sleep, wake up to eat and then go back to work. In NO world is my activity more than sedentary.

Here it says I’m burning 3000 calories. I put my information into a tdee calculator and it says my sedentary is 2400. I’ve been eating too much for years apparently just listening to my Apple Watch

Just for information sake: I’m a 5’8 male at 40 years old and 253lbs. I went into health app and the resting calories says 2500. That seems like what my tdee would be! But the active calories just randomly added on top of everything? Is insane

Did anyone get these in the US this year? I don’t remember seeing them announced.

Twice today my Apple Watch has started a Yoga workout that I wasn’t actually doing. The first one lasted for over two hours before I noticed and stopped it. I have deleted both from the Fitness App, but my Exercise Ring hasn’t corrected itself. And I just got an undeserved Award for most exercise minutes in a day. Not that it really matters, but it’s kinda annoying. I’m blaming the latest update. This hasn’t happened before. I’ve had this watch for over a year, and it’s my second Apple Watch. Not sure how to prevent this from happening.
