Fitness App: iPhone vs. Apple Watch

My question concerns the Fitness app on my iPhone and my Apple Watch. On my watch, I select the "Outdoor Walk" and "Outdoor Cycle" workouts every day; and when I'm done I have to select that I'm Done on the watch. My question is -- can I make those workout selections from my phone instead? My watch is so hard to get to when I'm bundled up for winter, so I'd like to be able to select the workouts from my iPhone instead, even though I'm wearing my Apple Watch. Thanks in advance!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Hello lacfromannapolis,


It sounds like you're wanting to start your workout from your connected iPhone, right? Since the Workout app is only available on the Apple Watch, you're only able to start a workout from your watch.


Regards.
