![]() ![]() But I find it a little frustrating when crossing a road (where I might be deliberately walking), or opening and closing a fence in a field and Apple Watch starts logging. One way to look at this is that Apple is more accurate because you really have to be completely stopped for auto-pause to pause. ![]() Neither give me problems pausing incorrectly when running. ![]() When wearing both Apple Watch an Forerunner 935 (on the default "when stopped" option), Apple Watch will nearly always pause first when I stop, and 100% will start as soon as I move at all, whereas the 935 will wait until I am clearly running which could be another few seconds. below a certain pace) as well as a default "when stopped" option. ![]() Garmin are more relaxed and allow a specified speed to pause at (e.g. I've found it to be quite aggressive in auto-pausing - meaning it will only pause when you are at a complete standstill. This would be nice for cycling too, but as it stands it only works for running (including indoor) and walking workouts. This is sorta handy - I've detailed it below in the Battery Life Section Running Auto Pause Not everything is available on the watch though (detailed below)Īvailable to set on both iPhone and Apple Watch On Apple Watch select Settings > General > Workout. On iPhone, use the Watch app and select Workout. In terms of a single additional field I would like cadence would be great (cadence is exposed when you export data to other platforms, so it should be possible), but it's helpful to think of the Workout app as being highly capable at what it does, but not being too ambitious, which now I think of it, is sort of the opposite of me. What you need to ask yourself is are these fields in the Workout app enough for me and are they accurate? In my case they largely are enough and in my experience they are accurate. (Both platforms can extend the data that is displayed through Apps in Apples case, and through Connect IQ in Garmin's case, but that is a post for a different day) %) and it's not really the quantity you want, but the right mix for your needs. It has to be said that this is a pretty slim selection of fields compared to say a Garmin Forerunner 935 which has 200+ however some of those in the 935 won't be applicable to running, and some require you have other hardware paired (e.g. Muscle O2 Sat. Elevation gain means you get a nice elevation map if you export your data to other platforms, and can be handy to display on your watch for hilly runs (as in glancing at the stat, noting you have run 300m up so far then performing some complex maths in your head to work out you only have another 112m left to go in the vertical direction, thus calculating the amount of pain that is left to endure) Notice the only difference between the running metrics that are available for Indoor and Outdoor is that you get Elevation Gain for outdoor runs, and this will only be available for Series 3 watches because they include a Barometric altimeter. To setup your fields go to the the Apple Watch app on your iPhone select Workout > Workout View > Multiple fields then select the workout to customise (e.g. Rotating the digital crown will just highlight the different fields in red one at a time. For multiple metrics you can chose the fields you want to display on a single screen, but you only get one screen. ![]()
