r/AppleWatchFitness

I am a sailor and work on a 50 metre ship. Recently bought Apple Watch for fitness but as you can see it’s showing that I am standing all 24 hours even while I am sleeping 7 hours a day. How do I sort it out for accuracy?

When you press the lighter ones it still says 0 stand hours but why is are the bars even showing up now?

I learned it is possible to create some quite detailed running HIIT workouts and just did my first pyramid (see below). You get a breakdown of each interval as well as the usual (see pics).

Should anyone else want to know:

- on my watch (series two/SE)

- select the three dots on the outdoor run workout

- scroll down to “create workout” and select custom

- select warmup/cooldown if you want and add a distance

- select add to create a work or recovery interval and choose what you want from open, distance, or time.

You can edit each interval and move them around.

- name your custom workout

- select create

This is the workout I created. M48; 90kg (20kg overweight); 33 V02max

2000m warm up

400m work; 60s recovery

800m work; 70s recovery

1200m work; 80s recovery

1600m work; 90s recovery

1200m work; 80s recovery

800m work; 70s recovery

400m work; 60s recovery

2000m cool down

Recently got my AWU3 in Natural colour way with Titanium milanese loop love it but looking for a band or two more suited towards workout and sleep my current looking at Trail loop , Alpine loop and Nike Sport Loop need help deciding which which two out of the 3 do i go for and what colours.

Tried a different case on my Apple Watch just to see how it would change the overall look and feel. It definitely makes it look less like a typical smartwatch and more like something a bit more bold and unconventional.

I know this kind of style isn’t for everyone, and I get why some people might prefer the original clean Apple design. But I’ve always been curious about trying something that stands out a bit more and feels different on the wrist.

For me it’s less about replacing the Apple Watch look and more about experimenting with different styles. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t — but I think it’s fun to try.

Curious what you guys think — would you wear something like this or keep it original?

I finally caved and bought the Apple Watch 10 after years of resistance and now I’m hitting a wall. Help me break it.

For the longest time, I couldn’t justify it. Fast battery drain, a screen that never fully sold me, and watches that looked like they’d shatter if you breathed wrong. Meanwhile, I watched the competition, Huawei, Samsung, the whole crew, making bold, dramatic leaps while Apple played it safe with subtle, incremental updates year after year.

Then the Apple Watch Series 10 dropped. Something clicked. I pulled the trigger.

And honestly? Hardware-wise, I don’t regret it. But here’s where it gets frustrating:

The watch faces. Are. Stale.

I’ve spent months cycling through every configuration I can think of and I keep hitting the same ceiling. The same widgets, the same layouts, the same information I could just… look at on my phone. Apple built an incredible canvas and then handed us kindergarten crayons to paint with.

And the worst part? It happens here on Reddit too. I scroll through “rate my watch face” posts constantly and it’s always the same story, someone shares their setup, everyone says it’s basic, and when people suggest alternatives… they’re just as basic. It’s an endless cycle of well-meaning mediocrity.

I know a few apps already, I’m not coming in blind. But I’m tired of the same recommendations. I want to find something new. Something that actually surprises me.

I’m a data guy. I want my watch face working hard, metrics, stats, useful glanceable info front and center. Not decorations. Not a pretty clock. Actual utility.

So I come to you:

👉 What apps are giving you genuinely useful watch face widgets? Complications that go beyond the basics, health data, productivity, anything that makes you feel like your wrist is actually earning its keep.

And while we’re at it, is Apple falling behind on this? Because from where I’m standing, the software creativity just isn’t keeping up with the hardware potential. The Series 10 deserves better than what watchOS is giving us.

Drop your setups, your app recommendations, your hot takes, but please, nothing that’s already on the first page of Google. I need real options.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Decided to start using my apple watch consistently and it’s telling me i have low cardio health. Does anyone take these notifications with any concern or?
