Sailing? Really now. How about something for an average person or something kids can use, like oh...sit-ups and push-ups. It's sort of unbelievable that these kinds of basic exercise activities are still not supported by Apple Watch.
Its you. Most folks care more about substance over style. So they will over look the GUI and '1980s style graphics' if the system works. and given that it's health one would hope that Apple is more worried about that as well. Cause there are some serious failings with the whole Health app. slightly forgivable since its still relatively new but not if they aren't constantly trying to improve it, improve communication with 3rd party apps etc.
Only if you both (or all 3...4....now you're just getting ridiculus(ly fun...) have the
Watch.
I was about to complain about not being able to link workouts, but it looks like they are including that feature, that's awesome. They need a good UI though, something with a ton of info but clean and easy to use like MotiFit.
Has been available since iOS1, choose Open. At the end of your workout name your workout Strength Training.
Watch OS 4 even gives you a pretty icon for it and the ability to quick start it next time you work out.

This is the Disney of technology, they would never acknowledge such activity exists.
Maybe they'll add stork wing flaps as exercise though...

As a bowler for 40 years of my now 43-year old life, I seriously disagree.
After bowling in youth leagues, collegiately for my university, and have competed in major tournaments, you don't know how much of a toll bowling takes on the body. People go through knee replacements, rotator cuff surgery, and strained and torn muscles. It takes a hell of a lot out of a person's body, especially when you bowl 24-game blocks each week, and most of those are just to make it to match play where you can cash, with the top 5 making it to finals where they bowl for titles.
I'm not just talking the PBA or the PWBA here. The TNBA does this. The ABT does this. The national tournament just ended the week after July 4th in the US, after starting in mid February. It had over 52,000 bowlers competing in it.
When you are doing this for 36 weeks out of a 52-week year, you seriously don't take into account how much cardio a person is doing; weights, squats, core strength toning, and lifting a bowler has to do to do this 4 - 5 days out of a week for major tournaments, pack up, roll to the next city, or even country, and do it all again.
Not exercise? I'd be more inclined to question your bowling credentials than anything.

Ok fine, it's exercise. I don't have the bowling resume that you probably do. Bowled for about 20 years consistently, no 300s, averaged 250 after 9 games in a cosmic league once, and one 7-10 split. I never really thought of it as exercise but perhaps you are right.
Yes, but does the strength training workout have accurate algorithms? I usually just use 'other' right now, and all activity is given the calorie algorithm of a 'Brisk Outside Walk'.
