A few months ago the gym in our clubhouse updated several pieces of equipment (treadmills and bicycles) and the new computers on the stuff have Apple Watch Compatible!!! For the past few months I would get on one of them, hold my Watch Series 7 where indicated and the Watch will open a new screen first to connect and then will say start workout on the treadmill/bicycle. And it would connect and show the same statistics on the Watch and on the machine. Nice.
But after the recent 8.5.1 update to watchOS, it seems the Watch will no longer be connected (it will either stay on the screen to start the workout on the machine or go back to the start screen of the Workout app on the Watch).
And yes, I have tried resetting the Watch while at the gym and trying again.
Anyone else have this issue?
