It is very accessible, it may not tell you how many kilometers or miles you biked on a stationary bike, but it still gives you your heart rate, calories burned and so on. For things like outdoor walks, runs, swimming and so on it's fantastic and I look forward to Apple adding more sleep functionality in the next update. I surely hope they are not going to say you have to buy the latest sixth generation Apple Watch this fall for this to work, my wife and I also have last year's fifth gen and I wouldn't at this stage recommend to go lower than that, in fact, I would probably recommend to wait now until we know what is coming this fall, it's only a bit more than 2 months when Apple usually announces their new devices and even if this is pushed off a bit this year just as WWDC was pushed back by 2 or 3 weeks, it's still worthwhile waiting. It's also great for notifications or to answer a call if I'm at home around the house and maybe my iPhone is charging as well as for quick information about the weather, sunrise and sunset, SIRI questions, dealing with home automation devices if you have any etc.

And once I get my bike out of storage I'll be able to use it to track my cycling workouts as well. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joe Orozco Sent: Sunday, 5 July 2020 9:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: The Truth About Apple Watch Hi, can anyone speak to how well the Apple Watch helped to improve their health? I'm interested in buying one but only if I can feel confident about the accessibility of their health apps. I know not to expect perfection. From what I've been able to gather, it is better about tracking things like walking, running, and swimming, not so much resistance type activity. I'm okay with that. I guess I just want to hear from people on either side of the question who can speak to how well the Apple Watch played a role in their health regiment, or not. And, does the series have anything to do with health tracking? Thanks guys for any information.--Joe -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
