I like the built in one because it the most stable and trust it the most to not crash or loose my data. Plus I do like the interface and features.
am a big fan of Runmeter, Walkmeter - use it a lot for hiking, running, mountain biking, awesome email report at the finish of the workout, been using since apple watch first came out - paid version "Elite Upgrade" = $10
Customizable pages are awesome for status updates - heart rate, distance, calories, etc

I prefer the built in, I've tried the others but I like the built-in the most, especially even more once watchos 4 came out.
I use the stock app for the most part, but slopes for snowboarding since the stock app doesn't really do skiing/snowboarding.
I just use the built in app. It does everything I need and has the options I want.
I primarily use the built in app, it has the exercises that I tend to do the most.
I used Nike run club for close to a year and it was by far my favorite but around the time they launched the v 3 Watch, Nike updated the app and its been terrible since. I moved over to the stock workouts app ( I was already using it for cycling) and its been great. If Nike ever gets their app figured out, I’ll probably move back, but if not, the stock workouts app is pretty nice.
I have been using the Zones for Training App. I really like it. I use it primarily in the gym doing resistance training and also when I’m playing tennis. I’ve compared that with the Stock workout app as far as doing the elliptical and they were pretty spot on. However for playing tennis, choosing the “other “workout on the Stock app doesn’t cut it as the calories are way off and super low.
I use the stock app for indoor workouts. But I recently installed an app called WorkOutDoors for (you guessed it) when I do outdoor workouts. It's a really great app which allows you to download maps to the watch for your location, and it has lots of granularity in tracking elevation profiles of routes you take, relative heart rate over the course of the route, pace, etc. It's a beautifully designed app.
Same here. I’m very happy with it. I’m an avid runner and its GPS matches up with the mile markers that my Garmin spits out and I like the simple interface. I have several friends with AW’s and I like sharing activities with them and seeing their activities through the Workout app.
Aside from running I use the Indoor Walk options on the treadmill and Cross Training for when I’m at the gym doing a few different things in one session. I’m pleased with it.
