Boxing and Jump Rope in the Workout App for Apple Watch 6?

How does the Apple Watch keep track of Boxing and Jump Roping in the Workout App? Is it simply a timer or is there a way to actually count calories burned?

I would like to do some heavy bag work and jump roping as part of my routine... but am unsure about whether the watch will record the proper information for me.

You can use the "other" workout type and this will measure calories burnt and time of the workout.

Using Apple watch for tracking when off the hand For some types of training like box I cannot use my Apple Watch on my hand. When I connect external HR monitor and start a workout on watch it's always paused after few seconds. Autopause is off. Is there anything I can do track a full workout with paired HR monitor and my Apple watch in bag (used only for start and stop)? Thanks
