The infograph modular complication on series 4 does, but no other complication built in does. I think they're worried that since it isn't a continuous sensor, the data will be stale most of the time and give people the wrong impression.

I still can't believe they don't have a circular complication for the series 4. Carrot gets the center square for now, and aside from 1-2 times a week it's always been up to date for me.

Anyone ever have a watch just totally stop counting steps? After my wife did an update last night the watch is registering 0 steps. It has been tracking standing though, so the accelerometer seems to be working.

So randomly my series 3 decides to stop recording routes when tracking an outdoor run in the Workout app? It records a starting point and pinpoints the weather, so I know the GPS is working, but it doesn’t actually record the route. Googling around suggests disabling/re-enabling location services and rebooting the phone and watch. I’ve done all of that and still am only seeing the starting point. I recorded a few runs in the past few weeks just fine. This is the first that didn’t have route information. No beta software or anything. This happen to anyone else?

Have you tried rebooting either the phone or the watch? Because I've noticed that the Activities app on my phone is buggy sometimes and tells me I have done 0 exercise minutes and burnt 0 calories even though my watch is telling me I'm all done.

I've had this happen to me as well, but it seems after a couple minutes they show up again. But yeah, I rebooted and I still couldn't see a map for my run. Which is super odd because the distance that was recorded was dead-nuts on the money, so I know the GPS was active and recording. I thought it may have been just simply a display issue rather than a recording issue. On an Indoor Run, the accelerometer is always off by 5-10% or so if I'm running on a treadmill. After my reboot of phone/watch, I tried a new run and the GPS data/map was there, so who knows.

I actually like the Breathe app. ‘Mindfulness’ has a lot of mumbo-jumbo around it but deep breathing is known to trigger many peoples’ dive reflex, and at least for me it’s helpful in getting my HR down a solid amount. I like the included HR feedback, although it usually takes a few minutes (as it does in yoga class, for example) of deep breathing to have it be effective.

Doing one minute of breathe as soon as you’re getting up out of bed sets it well

Yeah it does but getting a reading on when you wake up is ideal. Somehow using breathe on waking up (whether you’re using AutoSleep or not) sends that to Health.app Apparently if you get a good rating you can push yourself a lot harder at the gym or other exercise and get good results I find with just basic aerobic training I do burn a lot more calories when my whatever it’s called value is good.

Oh, got it. Though I think you mean that being healthier/able to push yourself harder results in a better number not the other way around.

I think they mean that getting a baseline upon wake-up results in a more accurate calorie count (or at least a higher calorie count) when they work out later in the day. If you set your base to a lower value than it would maybe otherwise be, when you get up to a working HR the watch will see that as you working harder. Note- that may/may not be more accurate, but I can see why it would be desirable.

Hard to say what’s going on, but for me my heart rate goes down into the 40’s when sleeping so having a resting rate set this low is either accurate or better than the usual 50-60 it determines from walking around OTOH, I don’t really appreciate doing Breathe first thing either so I barely use this feature either. I have observed clearer or smoother curves on heart rate if I do manage to breathe on wake up and then work out later on, especially cardio exercising. So it could be a bit of both; good for you and better calibration for the biorhythms or measurements, who knows but results wise you can see it quite clear.

 Apparently the developer is able to push themselves a little harder when this “Readiness” figure is high. Right now for me it’s low, I’m trying to shake off a virus and not getting out of bed easily. Readiness score is low; once I feel a bit more well I’d expect it to be higher too

Your body doesn’t care what the sensor says or whether or not you gamed the system or not. If you are only capable of lifting 100 lbs then no matter what the color indicator is 100 lbs is all you’re gonna be able to lift because that is literally the maximum limits of your body. Using the sensor/data to help you decide whether or not you think you should push or rest is a totally different matter.

Me: *ends a 17km run in Endomondo on the watch* Apple Watch: *waits 7 seconds*... "HEY, YOUR HEART RATE IS HIGH, REMEMBER TO BREATHE!" I got a S4 a month-ish ago and I am very pleasantly surprised that it's made a positive impact on a lot of my really bad phone-glancing habits. However. Endomondo is absolute poo poo at tracking my heart rate - for large portions of my runs, it's either blank or something outrageous like 192 beats per minute on flat sections. I know it's around 130-140 on my long runs, with peaks of 190ish on hill sprints. I tried using Apple's workout app on the watch for one of my runs, and it measures everything perfectly, including heart rate, like my old gps watch + heart strap did. So... Is it because Endomondo has limited access to the heart rate monitor or is their watch app bad or what?

Endomondo (which I haven't heard of) should have the same HR monitoring access that all the other apps do. Could be a poo poo app I know that stravia worked perfectly when I used it.

Just get HealthFit and export to whatever platform you’re using. I’ve used Nike Run Club a bit and then it completely forgot/ignored a workout. Same thing happened with Strava after an update, though it went well for like a year or two and then Health just ignored the calorie data completely. Though for tracking during a workout and showing data it seems pretty accurate/on par with the regular activity app.

Endomondo was bought by Under Armour some years ago and is now "their" fitness tracking app. I've been using for many years and that's where I like to have my poo poo, dammit! I don't like change  I'll give HealthFit a spin - thanks for the suggestion

Apple allows its apps on the watch a lot more access to resources than other apps so that’s probably why.

If there were dramatic improvements coming we would have seen it reflected in the WatchOS betas. Series 4 is still pretty new and was a big leap forward in specs (after upgrading, I wouldn't recommend Series 1-3 to anyone regardless of price over a 4, the screen is just that good), so waiting to see if there's a price drop in a month is prudent.

Guess we’ll just get a modest processor increase for the 5. I probably won’t upgrade from my 4 until another dramatic redesign.

I’m extremely happy with my 3 and seeing how the prices have dropped I just can’t see paying full price for the watch anymore unless I was in desperate need of an upgrade.

I'm really wondering if there's going to be a new watch this year, or at least a change in the upgrade calendar to focus on the struggling iPhone sales.
