Hi there,
Has anyone had success with this new feature and, if yes, how ?
I have tried once for a bike ride and nothing happened. I waited for 1 mile before manually launching the workout.
I haven'y found any specific setup or preference configuration either on iPhone or my Watch (version 2).
Thanks
Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 5
Biking is not supported for autodetection. Only walking, running, swimming, elliptical and rowing are.
Worked for me on my lunchtime walk today, but I was a good 1/2 mile into it.
Well, this morning, I had a 15 miles bike ride that lasted 75' and my heart beat varied between 70 and 100.
No luck. So I'll wait for the bug to be solved in a future WatchOS version.
I am not happy...
Thatcis a BIG shame !
Thanks anyway
Walked 30mins today. No auto activation. Oh well.
Tried it with my elliptical this morning. After 15 minutes, still no auto-detection.
It worked perfectly for two brisk walks, and then it stopped. It did not recognize the next two walks, or a rowing workout.
When it worked at first, it used to do retroactively as well. Now the automatic feature doesn't really work.
This doesn’t work at all for me on series 4 Apple Watch no matter what exercise I’m doing
This hasn’t worked at all for me no matter what exercise I’m doing no one time on series 4 norhing
It works, but it seems to be delayed. I was on elliptical for 5 mins before it started, but once it did, it seemed to estimate the calories burned at nearly 2x that of the elliptical (and those machines are notorious for overestimating calorie burn).
In short, this seems to work, but you might still need to start it manually so you don't miss any progress.
