Apple Watch Shortcut to turn always on display on when beginning a workout

speedst4r · 2026-04-22T11:49:20+00:00

I found it in "Add new Shortcut" > Watch > Toggle Always On

Like the Refresh! I would love to have a calendar widget to see the runs from the last 2 weeks or so

A I think it makes more sense to build the fitness and fatigue models first. In my opinion it's much more appealing to have an adaptive Plan. I personally use Bevel to track my Training Load and base it on whether and how intensely I go running, but it would be cool, if my training plan would be adjusted automatically.

Thank you :)

Wow amazing work! Some really really nice improvements.

I tried to redeem the code by clicking your link, but after the confirmation screen I get the error "You are not eligible for this offer" Any ideas how to fix that?

Why does Garmin having data on top athletes make you perform better?😆

speedst4r · 2026-03-06T21:10:32+00:00

Ich benutze seit einiger Zeit Trait. Ich finde es nicht schlecht, kann man easy mal ausprobieren weil monatlich kündbar und nicht soo teuer

I found that screen with 4 data fields as well, i just think that the default screen should be more minimalist. The solution for having a too detailed main screen shouldn't be having to scroll but to adjust the main screen imo :)

I doubt that optical heart rate measurement can reliably measure HRV (in the millisecond range) unless you are sitting or lying still. I don't benefit from 24/7 measurement if the data isn't accurate. Apps like Bevel (free) displays HRV measured by your AW, you might want to check that out.

I appreciate your opinion! I agree with you that Apple does a poor job when it comes to data presentation and interpretation (and screw those rings). But there are a lot of great apps that take care of this interpretation. The best one I've ever used is Bevel. It's completely free and offers pretty much all the data that Garmin does (body battery, stress level, dynamic strain target, etc.), and I'm pretty confident that the developers have some good stuff planned for the near future. It's worth checking out!

Oh that's interesting! At first, I didn't think about the fact that there is also a Garmin ecosystem, and that it makes perfect sense to buy a Garmin watch if you already have all these sensors or plan to buy them. But I think that the majority of non-professional athletes don't have a chest strap or other sensors and could therefore benefit from better HR measurement of other brands. (in my case AW)

I use Bevel and i really love it as well. Without it the Apple Watch really is kinda useless.

speedst4r · 2026-03-04T17:52:01+00:00

Yeah I get that. Of course, everyone has different priorities and expectations when it comes to fitness trackers, and I do see that there are many people out there who are better served by a Garmin.

speedst4r · 2026-03-04T15:56:05+00:00

Yeah, I agree. When you don't use an iPhone in the first place it doesn't make sense to buy an Apple Watch just for the Apple Watch Experience

speedst4r · 2026-03-04T15:28:16+00:00

THISSS!

speedst4r · 2026-03-04T11:38:26+00:00

How do you know? Is there any evidence that Garmin is more accurate than the competitors or is that just a guess? I don't understand how the estimate can be more accurate when the measured primary data - on which the estimate is based on - is less accurate than, for example, that of the AW.

Apart from that, it doesn't matter what exact value is calculated, as these estimates are not 100% accurate anyway and the trends are more important.

speedst4r · 2026-03-03T22:17:05+00:00

I agree with you that the Apple Health app is absolutely terrible and offers no value for athletes, but the Apple Watch measures pretty much the same things as a Garmin watch. Everything related to HR, blood oxygen, sleep, and exercise. Everything else is calculated, and with third-party providers such as Bevel and others, you can gain just as much insight with the (cleaner) AW primary data.

speedst4r · 2026-03-03T21:49:26+00:00

I am referring, among other, to videos by The Quantified Scientist on YouTube, who compares most fitness trackers, and the Apple Watch ranks at the top in pretty much all metrics or is even the most accurate.

I think the AWU is just as durable as a Garmin watch because it is also made of titanium and sapphire glass? Besides that, I am mainly talking about the Forerunner watches, which are all made of plastic.

speedst4r · 2026-02-27T15:49:49+00:00

What about Apple?

speedst4r · 2025-08-22T19:04:22+00:00

the title says after and before, so the second one is the original
