Sounds like it's a third party workout app, that haven't been updated for AoD

That’s probably a bug, I’ve experienced that too several beta updates ago. And yes it was annoying as hell during a run 🙂 Try getting the latest available update.
Turns out I was just being a bit dopey... you have to have 'raise to wake' switched on. its working all right now, cheers
I have the ultra. In order to get my fitness and recovery stats. I need five different apps. They need to make it like Garmin so everything is in one app. It is too fragmented the way it is now.
Zones, athlytic , training today, gentlr streak and healthfit.
And if they do that people/media will complain that Apple obsoletes the small developers’ apps (like those you use right now).
True. Which is why I am headed back to Garmin even though I like Apple better, my fitness takes priority.
This is why I flip back and forth between the two. I really like the workout/training/recovery integration in Garmin Connect, and none of the AW alternatives bundle it all together.
That being said, Apple Pay is more reliable for me than Garmin Pay, and Siri on my watch works well for me.
Well we only have to wait 9 hours now to see what Apple is planning for the fall - FINGERS CROSSED!!
The problem is that third party apps can’t control the sensors, and the default sensor settings don’t provide adequate measurements to be able to properly calculate metrics such as load and recovery. If you want meaningful training data you’ll have to resort to other devices for now (Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Polar, etc).

Disappointing update. I guess that’s good news for Garmin with their new Epix Pro series. Apple is not closing any gaps with this update. I really expected more for athletes this year.

I wouldn't say Smart Stack is the most exciting thing but up to now I've kept the old Siri watch face a couple of swipes over because it does just this. It will be nice to have exactly the same feature just by turning the crown 
Oh, I wonder how the Smart Stack will work with a face that already has a digital crown setting like the Wayfinder or Moon Phase ones...
Totally agree. I just ordered the Garmin Epix 2 pro and will put my AWU in my drawer. Very disappointing.
So? How did I do?
1. Looks like we got it... maybe. I still question if the new list of trails / trailheads / and topo maps is enough if there isn't turn by turn routing or the ability to build our own trails. Still I call this a win.
2. We got it!
3. Seems we didn't get it, aside from the fact you can attach sensors to spin bikes etc. for use with the new bike features. Hopefully Apple Fitness+ workouts will show live cadence / speed / power from those sensors but they made no mention of it.
4. Seems we sort of got it. Watch faces look mostly the same but the new idea of seeing widgets with the scroll of the crown on any watch face seems a major UI change etc.
5. 2 new watch faces, no real changes to the others is a fail.
6. Didn't happen this year unless there is a September surprise. I do believe this is coming... NEXT YEAR.
7. Nothing. Disappointing use of the sensor which seems to be there mostly for marketing a difference between Series 7 & 8 more than doing anything useful.
8. Doesn't seem like they changed anything unless they didn't mention it. I don't know why Apple makes easy... hard sometimes.
rumor from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg (well connected) is that Apple will introduce a paid health and fitness coaching service that will create inbuilt metrics like that, NEXT YEAR, 2024 with iOS 18 and WatchOS 11.
Yea but Garmin has tons and I mean tons of fitness metrics for free in Connect. I'm keeping my Ultra because it's a great smartwatch so IF Apple does create the metrics similar to Garmin I will come back to Apple. Right after the show, I ordered the Garmin Epix Pro.
no argument there for me. I *personally* still want to stay in the apple ecosystem so I make it work (although the Epix Pro is tempting) with my Ultra and I have to give some credit to Apple for making REAL strides in the fitness space on the watch in the last 2 years (I know it is playing catchup but many said Apple would NEVER do serious fitness metrics and just stay focused on casual runners etc.) Since I'm an "Apple One" customer (meaning I pay one lower fee but get ALL of the Apple services) I'm hopeful that whatever new service is introduced next year is part of that rather than an additional fee I have to pay.
