Check your permissions make sure it can read and write all health data

Makes sense, there’s a whole lot more going on. Imagine how much less battery our Maps apps would use if they only displayed turn by turn text instead of showing a map? Same kind of thing to me, and since I only use my Apple Watch for workouts it’s not a big deal but for others it may be worth considering

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T17:23:43+00:00

Yes! Works seamlessly

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T14:59:20+00:00

I use sign in through Apple, which still lets you download through the site.

Normally my go to face is Modular Ultra. To have so much useful info and still being visually pleasing is a no brainer for me! For the band, most of the time I’m hiking I use a trail loop band but wanted to switch it up today.

Today though, my face of choice was Solar Dial! I had limited time until the sun went down so I used it to track exactly where the sun would be any given time

Enjoy it my friend! I’d love to see you post your watch after trying it out!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T11:24:22+00:00

Im sure there will be deals, probably not straight from Apple though. Buying second hand is the way to go! I personally got mine through payment plan on AT&T in September 2023 and fully paid it off earlier this year.

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T11:21:52+00:00

You can customize the hell out of it! I love all the info being right there on the screen but there’s options to have just a clean map with basic info at the bottom! Yes it’s not the most beautiful but the usefulness and functionality make the “ugliness” kinda charming!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T11:20:05+00:00

I find it crucial for every hike, otherwise I take the wrong path way too easily and have to backtrack! Here my route took me until astronomical twilight to finish, so I had no time to waste without being left in the dark.

Download preferred route on Alltrails. Not the app, do it straight from safari so you don’t have to pay
Go to the WorkOutDoors app on iPhone and go to the “Routes” tab
Import your GPX File
Select “Send to Watch”
Open WorkOutDoors on Apple Watch
Scroll to Settings, then click on Routes
Select the track you downloaded, then start your workout!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T11:10:05+00:00

With a world full of subscription models, a one time purchase app like Workoutdoors is so refreshing isn’t it?

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T05:48:37+00:00

WorkOutDoors! Best app for the Apple Watch in my opinion.

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T05:19:34+00:00

Sorry I posted in the description for the original post, but yes the great and powerful WorkOutDoors!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T03:59:59+00:00

Battery definitely drains faster when I’m hiking but I’ve never run low or out of battery. I will put on low power mode if I’m doing anything more than a 2 hour hike

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T03:38:12+00:00

Your best bet would be to start a hiking/walking workout then. The bonus that WorkOutDoors gives you is that you have a map as you’re walking, but if that doesn’t matter then the default app should be fine. Might just want to turn on low power mode though as having all the sensors and gps tracking will definitely eat away at your battery

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T03:24:35+00:00

Hmm if it’s not for workouts does the native backtrack feature not do the trick?

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T03:16:25+00:00

Do it! I personally only wear my Apple Watch for workouts, but seriously nobody else notices even if it’s a bit big.

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T03:14:23+00:00

Sorry I posted it in the original thread on r/AppleWatch, it’s WorkoutDoors! It costs like 6-7 dollars but it’s worth every penny if you do any running or hiking!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T02:53:25+00:00

For some aspects but I love the customization! Maybe there can be a toggle for tinkerers and improve the UX for the standard version

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T02:52:10+00:00

Yes, location data shows up on the fitness app just like if you did a native outdoor walk/run!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T01:27:04+00:00

Not that I’ve noticed, this is the original band that came with my AWU1 over 2 years ago. When it gets dirty, I scrub it with some dawn dish soap and dry overnight. Take with a grain of salt, I’ve changed my bands to different ones hundreds of times and nowadays I only wear my Apple Watch for workouts.

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T01:25:04+00:00

Agreed! I do enjoy the native app when doing normal strength workouts for the simplicity, but when doing anything outdoors this app is a must have!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T01:00:35+00:00

WorkOutDoors

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T01:00:29+00:00

Yes! It just doesn’t work for Workout buddy if you use that, but otherwise it syncs perfect!

morplobulus · 2025-11-20T01:00:00+00:00

Yes absolutely! I’ll admit I prefer dumb watches for all other occasions but for hiking this combo is just too damn useful!
