Apps "Start Workout Reminder" doesn't work?

[GoHerd15]

Good morning!

Is anyone having any issues with the new Start Workout reminder functionality? I have this enabled on my watch via my watch settings and my phone settings. I go out for a quick walk and nothing reminds me that i'm exercising. I walked for approx. 2 miles and nothing triggered this to pop for me.

I've tried to disable it and re-enable it, but still no luck.

Any ideas on this one?

Apple watch 4 - 44mm

Thanks!

Auto workout only triggered for me when I do elliptical and running it never worked for walking. It’s probably because the watch assumed you’re just walking and heart rate isn’t that high. It works well for elliptical it even gives me credit back from start of workout.
