Pace range alerts (custom outdoor running workouts) issue after 9.2 WatchOS update Weird obscure issue started happening after the upgrade to 9.2. I would like help on this in case I am missing something (to be clear, Apple, this is not a poll). When i go into workout settings for an outdoor run and try to set my pace range alerts, i only have 4 options under the Upper Limit. When I look at my previous settings, it show's for example that my Upper Limit was set to 11'00" But when I click on Upper Limit and go to that screen, the scrolling selection options are only 3'00", 3'10", 3'20", 3'30" --- doesn't matter what lower limit is set to. I've restarted the watch (and iphone) and tried creating new run workouts without seeing this behavior change. I've got a support req in and waiting for a callback but figured I'd post, as well. Phone is 14 pro max and is also on the latest OS update.

Workout routes not showing in 9.2 (Race Route) In WatchOS 9.2 I’m not seeing routes in the Workout app. When I go to the start of my route, select Outdoor Run and filter on Routes, there are no options. I run the same route all the time and it shows up in Fitness on my iPhone so I know the watch and/or phone is recording the route. I thought it might have something to do with my route not being along a public road. So I just tested by running the same half mile twice on a sidewalk next to a road known to Maps. It measured the 0.5 miles the same within a stride or two so that tells me the GPS reading is consistent. Still when I went back to the start of the route it did not show up in Workouts.

Apple Watch Ultra: workout app weird bug - cannot set upper limit for pace range When trying to select a pace range in the Workout app in the Apple Watch Ultra, it only allows me to do so in the "Lower limit". When I select "Upper Limit", the options are blank. The curious thing is that this worked before, but now it is stuck like that. I have tried rebooting the watch, removing the pace range, trying to create a different, custom workout but nothing works. I did not try unpair/resetting the watch given the hassle of redownloading music etc. - any ideas?

Miles or Kilometers

On your iPhone, in the Health app, go to summary then tap on walking and running distance,scroll down to the bottom and tap on unit then choose mi or km.

Or;

In the settings app on the watch

Tap on workout,scroll down to the very bottom and tap on units of measure and change your units here.
