KEEPING YOUR WORKOUT SAVED
If your connection drops
The watch saves supported workout updates locally and sends them to your phone when it can reconnect.
Save updates on the watch.
Supported set and session updates stay on the watch while your phone is unreachable.
Sync when you reconnect.
The watch retries pending updates when the connection returns and tracks which ones arrived to help prevent duplicate entries.
Check the sync status.
Check whether the watch is connected, waiting for a plan or still syncing.
Return to the session.
The saved plan and workout details help you return to a session after the app is interrupted.
WATCH ESTIMATES
Watch readings are estimates.
Heart-rate and energy readings can be delayed, missing or different between devices. They are not medical measurements. Pay attention to how you feel and follow professional advice, even if the watch reading looks normal.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about the watch
Can I build a complete workout on the watch?
Create and edit workouts on your phone. Use the watch to follow the current session.
What happens if the phone disconnects?
The watch can save supported workout updates and retry them when it reconnects. Check the sync status and review the completed workout on your phone.
Does Apple Health mean Apple Watch is supported?
No. April can read supported data from Apple Health on iPhone. The April app for Apple Watch is a separate feature and is still in development.
Are watch calories exact?
No. Calories and heart rate are estimates based on the watch's sensors and calculations.
Which permissions are optional?
The permissions needed depend on the feature you use. You can turn off health, sensor or activity access in your device settings, but features that need that data may stop working.
