Iwatch recording exercise?

[Pep]

Getting annoyed that my watch pauses when I’m playing footy, or keeps asking if I’ve been involved in an accident!
Is there a way to let it keep going or be a bit less sensitive?

I’m guessing you’re using the built in fitness app? Maybe try Strava.

Annoyingly needs to be on the fitness app for a boring reason I won’t go into.

I think you may struggle, I know once it’s popped up a few times you can dismiss it for a while. You can set up a summaries integration of the Strava data to the Fitness app if that helps at all.

Ok thanks mate.
I’ll put strava on next time and see if it’s any better, it might integrate like the fitness app if I’m lucky.

Are you able to tell the watch you’re playing football? I’ve never had an Apple one, but if you can name the activity you’re doing it should assume movement behaviour.

Yes, you can. It’s not there by default but it’s just a case of clicking add workout and picking it from the list.

Not sure if it will fix the fall detection though.

Which watch have you got? cant say ive ever had it think ive been in a collision lol

Most of my classes end with Abs, and the watch will often asked me if I've finished my workout, i guess because my heart rate drops back down

I did look but wasn’t there…..

Its a 7, but it’s a bit physical and if it’s my go in goal diving to save seems to set it off calling 999!

You will probably need to turn off fall detection when playing football,

 

[Sash]

Yours must be super sensitive, mine didn’t even detect a fall when I did actually fall 😂😂

I've fallen off my bike a few times and mine didn't bat an eyelid. Used a hammer and thought I fell over and was trying to contact my emergency contacts! Didn't realise it was doing this right until the last moment and managed to stop it.
