Why have Apple removed the Pace Split feature that used to appear under Avg Pace in the Outdoor Walk programme? This was a really useful feature for tracking progress.
I have just upgraded to an iWatch S6 (from S1) and the splits now appear. So I guess Apple degraded S1 functionality for some reason.
I exclusively use native Apple Watch (first generation, yikes!) Workout app, and it has reliably provided splits that could be viewed on iOS Fitness app prior to v14. After applying 14.0.1, splits no longer show up in Fitness, even for workouts recorded prior to the upgrade. Ugh, on all levels!
I should have posted that I am using an S3. And my splits show, it was just the last one that gets cut off. And I think I've found out what it is - the last split gets cut off if I stop the workout right near that distance. SO say for example I go for a 10K run. I actually run 10.01 km; that's the distance showing when I end the workout on the watch. When I open the workouts app, it will only show splits up to 9 km. If I go longer past 10K, then it will show that 10K split.
I see they've just released a WatchOS and iOS minor update, so hopefully these get fixed.
Running a S0 Apple Watch and as you’d expect have lost my splits which is annoying. However the Zones app is able to recreate the splits from the data which I have found useful. That’s a great app by the way... (and no I’m not affiliated).
Have spoken to them. Please contact them by chat & phone so they realise this is an issue they need to fix!
Thank you for the tip re Zones app: it’s brilliant! Also, the running app I use, Intervals, have now added splits to their app, since Apple refuses to fix their own app. 😔
I have S3 - if that's true, it's outrageous that they haven't informed us. Particularly after having spent days on the phone with them. But, as I mentioned to you, the workouts completed with their Workouts app still display splits. Only the third-party runs no longer display them - but I always use third-party apps to run. Do you use a third-party app to run? If not, could you possibly use some free run app, such as Runkeeper and let me know if it displays splits on the Fitness app? Just use it to walk around (for at least 2 kms/miles). If you ever get the chance. Thank you.
Same issue here. I've spent hours trying to work it out. Seems to be the case with all the third-party workout apps - but it still displays split pace for their own Workout app. Very annoying, I use the brilliant IntervalsPlus and the split pace info is invaluable. Very ****** off!
Similar issue for me. Intermittently since doing the update to iOS and WatchOS a few days ago, the last split of my runs is not getting shown. It's like I have to go a few hundred meters beyond the end point of the run to make sure Apple doesn't just cut it off.
I’m using the standard Apple Workout “Outside Walk” app in conjunction with my iWatch and it’s missing from that so it appears to be something that affects all, not just third party apps. I agree it’s infuriating!
Completely agree. This is a feature I use after every run. Why would something like this be removed? I also wondered if it was a way to force us to use native Apple app. I hope that is not the reason! Please fix it!!!
I decided to upgrade to iWatch 6 last week. The splits reappeared but maps remains busted. Added to that, I then discovered that Activity data was not correctly importing into the Health App, distance exercised was understated and limited to 2.3 miles. It also illogically claimed that I could walk 2.3 miles in 11 minutes!! Also, SpO2 was completely unreliable no matter how much tinkering with positioning on your wrist. Handwashing would get to 7 secs then the timer would stop. After long discussions with Apple support it appears that iOS14.1. and the recently released WatchOS 7.01 update have broken things. It is disgraceful that Apple have launched a defective productive .... the whole point in paying a premium for Apple products was that hardware and software would work flawlessly, efficiently and inter-connectedly with other Apple products. The problem is that competitor products now provide the reliability and interoperability that was unique to Apple, but that is no longer the case. I have returned the watch for a refund and am back to my S1 iWatch but guess what, in re-pairing my old watch it now records all workouts in miles but will only report in Activity in Km.....no matter what settings are used. I’m putting up with this for the moment but know before too long I will bin the S1 and probably for the first time in 30 years, go to another make, like Withings which gets good reviews. Apple have tried to be too clever adding half tested features in order to get its annual product cycle out to maintain sales. They should remember that its better to do a few things well rather than a lot of things badly! There’s no pint in having an aesthetically pleasing design if basic functionality and features don't work. I suspect there will be a lot of people who feel the way I do, especially amongst those who take their exercise rather more seriously than me and who are faced with inaccuracy and data loss.
Thanks for trying. Frustrating, isn’t it. Have been with Apple since late 80s and used to defend them from critics. Now, they’ve really let me down. Appalling customer service. They’re far removed from their customers. Really ****** off (and what’s with putting asterisks in words like ******, Apple mediators? Are you some kind of moral crusaders? It’s pathetic.).
Yes, I have been a loyal Apple Customer since the 80s too and am very disappointed in the increasingly unreliability of their products. We pay a premium for them because hardware/software is supposed to work seamlessly and interoperably between devices. This is no longer the case. I had a post removed yesterday on another thread so Apple are becoming like thought police on these discussion groups. I will wait a few weeks and perhaps take a punt on the new Withings smart watch which has received very good reviews. I think iWatch tries to do too many things (badly) rather than fewer well.
Really disappointed to see this happen as I use the Runkeeper app to log my runs, which has been consistently showing the wrong split times for months, so I was relying on the Fitness app as a back-up as my splits were constantly accurate there. Now that’s gone and without reason or explanation. Very poor, Apple.
