Q: Wish list for Apple Watch Fitness tracking
Why cannot the apple watch "workout App" simply track my steps and "know" that I am on an outdoor (or indoor) walk/run? My iPhone is always nearby so GPS can tell if I am moving or not. The watch is measuring my heartbeat and it is increasing over the resting heart rate. It really takes too long to enter the Workout App (sometimes 5 or 6 times pressing the App button) then selecting Outdoor Walk, then selecting Calorie goal! Then waiting (which I never do) for 3, 2 , 1 ....Start! Then I have to remember to end the run/walk and Save the data! I am really beginning to envy my wife's new Fitbit. Please Apple make this App easier to use....in fact make it automatic for walking and running. Stair Stepper etc I understand they have to be chosen.
Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.2
