Monitor your workout on Apple Watch
Adjust Apple Watch during a workout
Your Apple Watch can be an active partner even during your workout. While working out you can do the following:
Check your progress: Raise your wrist to see your workout stats, including your goal completion ring, elapsed time, average pace, distance covered, calories burned, and heart rate. (There’s no goal ring if you haven’t set a goal.) Turn the Digital Crown to see additional Workout Views, which can include Segment, Power, and Elevation. You can also receive voice feedback for key alerts and progress against your Activity rings. To turn Voice Feedback on or off, open the Settings app
on your Apple Watch, tap Workout, then tap Voice Feedback.Mark a segment of your workout: Double-tap the display to indicate a segment of your workout. You briefly see the stats for that segment. To see all your segment stats after the workout, open the Fitness app on your iPhone, tap Show More next to History, tap the workout, then scroll down.
Rock out while you work out: During a workout, swipe left to the Now Playing screen to choose music and control the volume on your Bluetooth headphones. To choose a playlist that plays automatically when you begin a workout, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap My Watch. Tap Workout, tap Workout Playlist, then choose a playlist. See Add a workout playlist.
Note: Music or other audio you’re already listening to when you begin your workout continues to play.
