Workout app.

If I do some exercise without setting up a Workout in the app will the exercise still show up in the Exercise ring?


Is the exercise activity more accurate if it is done within the Workout app?

Yes the exercise will show up as long as you exercise at the speed of a brisk walk.There is no difference in accuracy between exercise and workout.Workouts are used for specific types of activity such as swimming,weight lifting, and various other activity.
