I forgot to wear my Apple Watch while exercising can I manually add this activity later?
Here is how to do it;
Exercise ring and Move ring;
All you need to do is wear the Apple Watch on your
wrist and launch the Workout app.
Scroll down until you find the ‘Other – Open Goal’
workout. Tap on it.
Once this workout starts you can continue doing
whatever you want, whether its sitting on a couch
watching your favourite TV show or doing dishes.
As the workout time progresses your watch will start
counting calories you have ‘burned’. While calories will
help you close the Move goal, the time you keep the
fake workout running will help you close the Exercise
ring.
Once you are done simply finish the workout, you will
notice that the rings have closed or the calories you
didn’t burn have been added to your daily log.

As far as I know there is no way to add a missing exercise, or edit an existing entry. The only provision is to delete incorrect records entirely, so if I borrowed your watch to run a marathon you could remove it when I handed the watch back to you. Apart from that, you probably have no real idea how much energy you spent on shoveling snow, so how do you add the correct values?
Can u please share the long answer? I am not out to cheat the system- I just want to get an accurate reading of my daily activity level- which includes some snow shoveling.
You can manually add walking or running to the Health app on your phone. However, that won't add it to the Activity and Exercise rings on your Watch.
Just to add want idrisSeabright said. How to add workouts.
The short answer is yes but many people consider this cheating.
Ok- I just wanted to know if it was possible- is all. Usually there’s a workaround for most things.
No, confirming I don’t think it is possible to manually create an entirely new record. I think fieryjack is mistaken.
Thank you.
Glad it helped.
