Concerns about the workouts with the Apple Watch - request for comments and Suggestions

I'm a professional skill that has recently upgraded from a Polar to the Apple Watch.  I am delighted to stop wearing the chest strap of the Polar, but even though I love my new watch, I wish for some improvements in the future.  Training categories are too vague.  When you set up a 'training' on my Apple Watch, which is the step class, I was ANOTHER selection to OPEN.  Others who do?  What others recommend?  And I'm trying to decide whether to use Active or Total calories during the recording of my activities in my Fitbit dashboard.  One last thing, I find it odd to be worked hard and look down to see my heart rate displayed as 60, when I know that it takes more than 130.  I would like to hear from other fitness in mind of people about my problems.  Thank you.

Hello

When a workout is started, choose the type of activity that best fits the nature of your exercise activity. For any activity other than the named options, select the other (for example, your step class).

The types of activities in the application of the workout on Apple Watch help the watch to determine what sensors / data sources to use in follow-up and evaluate the results of your activity. For example:

-To run in the open air, the watch can use the heart rate sensor, accelerometer integrated and GPS of the iPhone paired (if it is available during the race).

-For inside running (on a treadmill), the watch will be based on the accelerometer to estimate the distance and pace (as GPS data are not relevant).

-Indoor activities, the watch will be based mainly on the frequency heart readings to estimate of burning calories.

The other category is therefore useful (from point of view of the watch) by advising that certain types of activities are not undertaken.

During the follow-up of one exercise using the others, your watch will estimate active calories based on one that is the higher of:

-L'equivalent of a brisk walk (calories saved on this basis can vary per person, based on their personal information), or;

-The data recorded by the heart rate sensor.

When you use the other, activity app will also credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.

If you want Apple to consider adding specific types of additional activities for the purpose of the workout, you can suggest that here:

  • Question about the Apple Watch and tattoos

    I think buy a Apple Watch very soon.

    I have a full sleeve (which is where I would like to wear the watch) and I wonder if it will cause problems with readings with the heart monitor since I want to use the Apple Watch for fitness training, mainly.

    I read on the page of the heart rate for the saying of Apple Watch:

    "Permanent or temporary changes to your skin, such as some tattoos, can also impact performance heart rate sensor. Ink, model and the saturation of some tattoos can block light from the sensor, making it difficult to get reliable readings. »

    There are other problems in addition to playback of heart rate on the Apple Watch for inked people that may know you?

    Thanks for your comments just to decide if this watch will really be for me before making this purchase, because I missed one for some time.

    If you are looking for, there was a very long discussion about this in the past, only shortly after the release of the Apple Watch. What I've read, it seems that the heart rate monitor is the only victim when it comes to the watch, since this is the only thing that requires the sensors to work through ink. Not all inks makes a difference, but most don't. The activity of exercise/app also uses the heart rate monitor to determine the rate for the year. You can take the time to go to the nearest Apple Store and try on the Apple Watch and see if the monitor works with your sleeve.

  • Can the Apple Watch of training app take "tricks" during your workout?

    The application of the workout on the Apple Watch can loosely last "tricks" during your workout?  Can you do you run?

    Hello

    To mark a segment (for example one lap) during running exercise using integrated workout app, you can double-click the screen. The display briefly shows the stats for this segment. Segments can be examined after training through the activity on the matched iPhone application:

    You can also find that a third-party application meets your needs. To learn about the characteristics of third-party applications, I suggest you consult the descriptions of app developers and their support resources. For example:

    If you don't find the specific information you're looking for, you can ask the developer directly. This is usually possible through their support resources (you may need to create a free account in order to be able to connect). They may also be open to feature requests.

  • How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    Hello!

    Welcome to the Apple community. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "communicate" with the Apple Watch, so I'll give you a few options that can respond to your request.

    (1) the Apple Watch supports Siri, just like the iPhone and the Mac. To apply, simply say "Hey Siri" while the wrist is triggered, and your watch will respond. Alternatively, you can hold the digital Crown and Siri will be activated. As soon as Siri is activated, you can ask him questions such as "what is the weather today" or "reminder", or "Let's start a workout."

    (2) you can manually send SMS via your Apple Watch by use of Siri, or opening the messaging app. That Siri send your messages, just say 'Hey Siri, send a text < name >' and Siri will open the Messages app and wait to talk to you about your message. If you want to move the Messages app manually, press the digital Crown and will take you to the home screen. In the home screen, select the Messages app (a green icon with a word inside bubble). Any existing message log must appear, and you can type on a given message log and choose to respond.

    (3) If you want to place a phone call using your Apple Watch, you can say "Hey Siri, call < contact name >". If you have several numbers for a particular contact, Siri will ask you what number you want to call. You can also you can present a more specific request like 'Hey Siri, call < contact name >, < number >' with the number favorite is 'work' or 'House' or 'mobile' etc. So the demand go something like "Hey Siri, call Barbra, House".

    If you are still at a loss, with regard to the types of orders that Siri will accept, you can always ask. Say 'Hey Siri, what can you do?' and she will give you a list of commands that she will answer to the.

    If all goes well, I addressed your question. If not, please provide a little more information and I'll do what I can to help you.

    Good luck!

  • Can I pair headset Bluetooth and a chest strap heart rate monitor Bluetooth at the same time with the Apple Watch 2 series

    Does anyone know if you can pair Bluetooth headset at the same time and heart rate monitor strap chest Bluetooth with the Apple Watch series 2? I can't find any info about it online. I hope so, because they have everything works without your phone now since it has GPS. Obviously a chest strap heart rate monitor gives you a more accurate reading. And who is running without music? If they want to really all the new capabilities of fitness improved series 2, that this is a must!

    The original WATCH allows you to do this, so I don't see why the series 2 would not.

  • I have problem with my Apple Watch, during the step count of the market does not appear on the watch?

    I have a problem with my Apple Watch, when I use the watch on my treadmill, keep the phone, the number of step does not appear, the whole market is a waste if it shows only not on Apple Watch, how to solve this problem?

    Hi Shabbir

    Apple Watch has two integrated health and fitness apps: enforcement activity and the application of the workout. For best results, make sure your arms naturally swings while walking on the treadmill, as Apple Watch uses movement of arm (measured by the built-in accelerometer) to track and evaluate movement for indoor activities. If you use the application of the training session, your watch will also measure your heart rate continuously for training in order to estimate the calories burned.

    Check that you have configured the application of the activity:

    -Press the rings activity on your watch dial or open the application for the activity (if you have not set it upwards, you will be prompted to answer a few questions).

    Also, make sure that the fitness of tracking is enabled:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > privacy > Motion & Fitness > fitness monitoring.

    You can improve the accuracy of the estimates related to activity in calibrating Apple Watch (take your iPhone with you on walks outdoors or tracks, connected to your Apple Watch and with location enabled Services - see the detailed instructions in the article to support below).

  • GPS number race Nike Run Club with the Apple Watch 2 series

    I have my Apple Watch 2 configuration with the Nike Run Club app.  Repeatedly, I tried to run without my iPhone (6 current execution 10.0.2) and for some reason that GPS doesn't seem to work. While I open a session is running, pace/time is completely off and it isn't GPS data capture because cards do not appear in the app once I connect and send the run. Also, I assume that the GPS does not work because the pace is so far off the coast. It seems to me that it is logging tracks using the accelerometer, which has not yet been resolved as I want to be able to connect the tracks using GPS.  I need help. Has anyone else had the same help as he attempted to use this app? I bought the watch to replace an old Strip, Nike +, in the hope that I could run without the phone, but it has been an uphill battle implemented.  The Nike Run Club app not yet been updated in order to make full use of GPS data from the Apple Watch?
