Can you add a workout manually to Apple Watch?
I forgot to put my watch on before my work out earlier today. Any way to get credit for this?

Hi
To receive credit, as appropriate, for all Activity app rings, your Apple Watch must be worn, whether during general daily wear or during specific workouts.
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 Apple Watch for workouts that are undertaken whilst it is not being worn. For example:
Fitmanual - Complete the Move Ring every day on the App Store
Other such apps may be available in the App Store.
Add data manually
Workouts can be added manually to the Health app on your iPhone, which aggregates all health and activity data from your Apple Watch, iPhone and any other sources:
To add a workout, go to: Health Data (tab) > Activity > tap on Workouts > tap on the "+" sign (upper-right) > enter your workout data.
Active Energy can also be added manually to the Health app on your iPhone:
To add data, go to: Health Data > Activity > tap on Active Energy > tap on the "+" sign (upper-right) > enter your data.
Neither Stand Hours nor Exercise Minutes can be added manually.
