Track walk with phone, not the watch

[qtrim]

When I mow my grass I get a good walking exercise, but I don't want to wear my watch. I do carry my phone in my pocket for music. Is there a way for the activity app to know I did a walking workout using just the phone to track it?

I don't think it works like that. You have to start a workout on your watch to get it in the activity app.

I recon activity should get data form watch and phone that way if watch runs out of battery then the phone and the m chip can say I was walking or standing or such if I have y phone with me

Thanks. Maybe a 2.0 or iOS9 feature.
