Apple Watch and outdoor rowing

Hi

I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's unannounced plans. You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community.

If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple (for outdoor rowing to be included as a main activity type in the Workout app, complete with a tailored algorithm for calorie estimations), then you can do so here:

Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple

Aufbruch, No one here - even if they knew - would be permitted to speculate (Apple Support Communities Use Agreement) on unannounced products.

See here for non-Apple review of apps that may do or not do what you want, has explanation why it's difficult.
