Hi Anna, maybe the newer watches are better at this, but my series 2 watch will 
only detect an outdoor walk after 15 minutes and I have to walk quite fast for 
this to work, if I walk normally it doesn't kick in. I read that this is done 
intentionally so it doesn't necessarily ask if you are working out if all you 
do is walk to the store which is 5 minutes down the street.

Subject: Re: ANOTHER QUESTION ON THE WATCH

Hi Carol,

The easiest thing is to ask Siri to start the kind of workout you want. 
However, with Watch OS 5, the watch will usually detect when you've started a 
workout if you forget to tell it ahead of time. It will make a guess as to the 
kind of workout you are doing, and you can accept that guess or pick the right 
kind. It can also detect when you've stopped working out and ask if you want it 
to stop recording one.

Best,
Anna
