Sep 18, 2016 10:46 AM in response to tiggerloveby KiltedTim,I've had very mixed results with 'sleep tracking' apps for the Watch. I landed on an app for the phone called Sleep Cycle that uses the microphone on your phone, sitting on the nightstand next to you to track sleep instead. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. It also knows that my wife is using the same app on the other side of the bed and doesn't get what we're doing mixed up.
Can't help much with weight lifting, sorry... I gave that up for lent years ago. :-P

Pretty cool recommendation. I tried one of the ones that requires you wear the watch. They suggest charging it for a couple of hours in the evening, then putting the watch in airplane mode. That never worked out well for me. I'll have to give this one a try.

Sep 18, 2016 10:56 AM in response to tiggerloveby Jonathan UK,For weight training - and also for sleep tracking - I suggest that you search for apps using the Search tab in the Watch app on your iPhone.
The results there are pre-filtered to include only iPhone apps that also include apps for Apple Watch.
