Cycling
Choose Indoor Cycle for activities like taking a spin class or riding a stationary bike. Choose Outdoor Cycle for riding a bicycle outside.
Depending on your Apple Watch, you might need to bring your iPhone with you to track certain metrics:
- Speed and distance: Apple Watch Series 2 or later has built-in GPS to track these metrics and provide a map of your outdoor cycle in the workout summary on your iPhone. For Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone along to track your speed and distance.
- Elevation: Apple Watch Series 3 or later has a built-in altimeter to track this metric. For Apple Watch Series 2 or earlier, bring your iPhone along to track your elevation.

Add a workout
You can browse and add new workout types to the Workout app.
- On your Apple Watch, open the Workout app.
- Scroll down and tap Add Workout.
- Tap the desired workout.
Choose Other when you can't find a matching workout type. In all workouts, the Heart Rate and Motion sensors work together to give you accurate credit. When you use Other, or any workout type available in the Add Workout section, you earn the credit equivalent of a brisk walk when these sensor readings are unavailable.
Learn how to get accurate measurements using your Apple Watch to make sure that you're earning the most from your workout.
