Apple Watch Wheel Speed Sensor Not Affecting Workout

I was hoping to use a wheel speed sensor on my mountain bike to get more accurate mileage when using Apple Workouts. The sensor is connected, and shows speed when I choose indoor cycling, but for outdoor cycling it doesn’t seem to have any effect. When I spin the wheel it won’t show speed, and on a ride it still shows the lower mileage.


It seems like outdoor cycling doesn’t use the wheel sensor info at all, and just depends on GPS.


It’s too bad because the workouts interface is really nice compared to the Strava watch interface, but Strava on the watch is much more accurate for mileage.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10
