Activity vs Workout

It measures all day. It will take your 'workout' into account, but 'Move' only registers some HBM threshold you have to get above based on your age/weight/height to qualify as movement. I was a bit perplexed for a few days but it's quite useful. Things I thought were exercise turn out to not really be (leisurely walking won't count, even if I use the workout app unless my HBM gets above some level). Things I didn't (like playing around with my kids jumping around and stuff) does.

I'm already impressed how much impact real data is having in making me adjust my habits.

 

I don't usually feel very comfortable wearing the watch when I go to the gym....I do bring my iPhone so I'm wondering if the activity app will function just the same? And sync up with the watch when it is in range? Or do I have to wear the watch for the activity app to work?

Also when using weather as a complication on watch face, I heard it keeps location services on at all times on the phone therefore draining battery, as opposed to when it isn't a complication and location services aren't on at all times.....is this true?

 

So I've just done a yoga workout in fitstar yoga - this has then placed into workouts in the health app. However it's not translated as an 'exercise' and hasn't progressed the green ring. Surely it should?
