So it's confirmed that Apple Watch can track distance to some degree without GPS. That is good to hear.
Using the accelerometer (steps taken). No different than how Fitbit works.

Correct. Apple Pay stops working, though, once the watch is taken off (via one of its sensors). You'd just have to authenticate it when you put the watch on again.![]()

That a fundamental limitation with the current crop of fitness trackers: accelerometers all about movement pertaining to cardio. Even if some engineer invents a sensor to track time under tension, it probably won't work on a device worn on a single wrist.ugh, there needs to be a "weights" choice within the workout app

The lifeless-unmoving wrist wearing the watch in these videos continues to creep me out.
Maybe when devs have access to the taptic engine, which only has a private API for now.Right, but I could still see some apps (if they aren't already written) to give you cues to help you hit a certain speed of reps for different exercises (not by sensing but just a pre-set timer), alert you for when your rest time between sets is over, etc. Using the taptic feedback of course.
Check out the reps and set app for gym tracking. Their watch extension is coming and does all of that (which the app currently does too). I use it everyday.Right, but I could still see some apps (if they aren't already written) to give you cues to help you hit a certain speed of reps for different exercises (not by sensing but just a pre-set timer), alert you for when your rest time between sets is over, etc. Using the taptic feedback of course.
I thought I saw on an earlier Apple video that when you first start using Apple watch, you should use it with the phone for GPS but as you use it, I believe it calibrates itself so that it becomes more accurate independent of the phone.
For best accuracy, pack the phone, but for "good-enough" estimations of your workout, you should be able to leave your phone behind after a short time working out with the phone (I think a week or so is enough to calibrate your movements against GPS?)
I have genuine questions, anyone know:
1) I play basketball. What do I select for fitness? Running maybe?
2) When they say "works better with the phone" do they mean works better if you wear your phone, or have your phone? I planned on leaving my phone over on the bleachers (like I always do) while I play ball with watch on my wrist.
Thanks!
The most important part in this case would be the he monitoring. Set it to run and let that HR track calories.I have genuine questions, anyone know:

You'll be getting your notifications during the game, kinda distracting though. A funny thing you could do is see yourself on the court through using your watch as a remote for your camera ;-) (someone probably needs to hold your phone for that though, unless you use a tripod).

Who the f cares. No good without a watch in/on your hand!
Notice they're letting AA take all the heat? Where he hell is Cook? Hiding,as he damn well should be.
Yes, it does calculate steps the same way a Fitbit does. But, if you run a few times with your phone as well, the watch uses the gps data and the step to calculate your stride, etc. So, it actually gets more accurate for those times you don't have your phone. Fitbit definitely does not do that.

A subordinate takes the responsibility or is shown the door when there is negative customer feedback. That's the was TC rolls.
Way too much about apple watch, maybe you could start a separate site/section
