Watch 5 with celular & MapMyRun

[fergusor]

Hi all,

I used my Watch 5 with MapMyRun today for the first time and when I finished the run I expected it to sync the run from the phone using its own data.

But it says I have to be near the iPhone to sync, is this right? One of the main reasons I got the watch was to save runs directly from it and not have to worry about syncing it with the phone.

Thanks,
Richard.

Well, the Apple watch pairs to an iPhone, which has all the control features. My walks show up nicely on the iPhone, it shows on a map where I walked. I don't have a Mac, so I don't know if there is a health app for the Mac, I think its just on the iPhone.
