The Apple Watch is now a lot more helpful for bike riders, with features like autopause and resume, automatic cycling detection and fall detection rolling out in WatchOS 8. I’ve spent a month testing out the new bike and electric bike features on the Apple Watch and it’s become my new favorite cycling companion.

Stop putting watches in trees and on wheels its really stupid.
Nice episode but the caalorie don’t seems completly correct if you look how tired you were, maybe I’m wrong
Does the watch even know you’re going up?

Yes only for the outdoor cycle workout type

@Lexy Savvides Thank you. That tells me the Apple Watch is not going to work for me. Very helpful. Thanks

@Brian Donegan as in the features I tested only work for outdoor cycling. You can track indoor rides using the specific workout type!

A comparison between its tracking and a bike computer like a garmin would be interesting. I compared my garmin watch, bike computer and phone gps and there was a difference in how often they collected data which can make a difference when riding off road on twisty trails.

Here’s the problem with Fall Detection and why, as a long-time and long-distance biking enthusiast, I had to turn it OFF: The poorly designed software thinks a fall has happened with even a modest bump, when going even a modest speed such as 12-15 MPH. This happens on both gravel and paved surfaces. I then either have to shut off the alarm while riding (bad idea) or I continually have to stop the ride. Simply it, a very important feature, perhaps crucial for those of us who bike deserted gravel areas, cannot be used. (Series 5 on 8.1. Feedback to Apple sent several times.)
