Q: Is it possible to manually add calories or exercise on an apple watch?

Hi

Third-party apps

Some third-party apps offer the ability to receive Move goal credit (but not Exercise credit, due to programming / API limitations), on your watch, for workouts that are undertaken whilst the watch is not being worn.

Examples that you may wish to consider:

• Fitmanual
  • https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fitmanual-helps-you-to-complete/id1073477295?mt= 8

• Manual Move
  • Be sure to read the reviews (there are some negative comments in the US App Store).
  • https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/manual-move-add-calories-to/id1039635917?mt=8

Other such apps may be available in the App Store.

Add data manually

Data (including calories, steps and exercise minutes) cannot be added manually to the Activity app on your Apple Watch.

Workouts can be added manually to the Health app on your iPhone. This aggregates all health and activity data from your watch, iPhone and any other sources. However, note that this will not credit Active Calories or Exercise to your watch.

• To add a workout, go to: Health Data (tab) > Activity > tap on Workouts > tap on the "+" sign (upper-right) > enter your workout data.

Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
