Q: Can I use the fitness app without the watch on if I have a chest monitor synced?
I would like to use my watch for the fitness and workout app but some of my workouts would damage my watch. Is it possible for me to start a workout on the watch and then take it off, continuing to track it with a chest strap?

With Wrist Detection enabled (which is required for features including Apple Pay), the Workout app would pause automatically once your watch was removed from your wrist. You would need to wear it again to resume the workout.
