Watch Ultra and Nike Run Club and Action button

Has anyone found a way to use the Ultra's Action button to start a run using the Nike Run Club app? If so, can you provide instructions on how to set up?

Thanks.

Hey iinami,


Let's see if the steps below help walk you through adding apps to be used with the Action button.


Found in Open apps on the Apple Watch Ultra - Apple Support is the following:

Use the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra
The Action button provides a quick physical control for initiating a range of functions. For example, press the Action button on the left side of Apple Watch Ultra to open apps and trigger features suited to a favorite activity. You can also assign a Siri Shortcut to the Action button.
1: Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch Ultra.
2: Tap Action Button, then tap Action to choose an action, such as Workout, Backtrack, or Dive.
3: Tap <, then choose other options, if available.

For example, if you choose Workout, tap < to return to the list of actions, then tap First Press to choose a specific workout to launch when pressing the Action button.

Some apps perform additional actions when you press the Action and side buttons at the same time. For example, if you set up the Action button to start the stopwatch, press both buttons to pause.

Also, another good resource for the Action button will be the article, Choose a function for the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra.


Let us know if you have any questions.




Take care!
