Apple Watch and stationary bicycle
How well does the Apple Watch register stationary bicycle activity? Nothing but the legs are in motion and no actual distance is covered.

Hi
The Workout app on Apple Watch includes an activity type for Indoor Cycle, which is designed for workouts on stationary bikes. Results are estimated using data from the built-in heart rate sensor, using a calculation that is tailored for that activity type.

I regularly workout on a stationary bike. The Workout app records the activity very well so long as I select the "Indoor Cycle" workout.
