How to set up & use the Apple Watch Activity app



It's also worth 'training' the Apple Watch so that it learns your stride length, which helps it to track runs and other activities in the related Workout app - this is used to track your performance in specific bursts of activity rather than throughout the day.

The Apple Watch hasn't got GPS, so by itself it can't tell how far you're travelling, instead having to guess based on the frequency of your footfalls. But if you spend a little time - about 20 minutes is a huge help - using the Workout app while carrying both iPhone and Apple Watch, the watch can piggyback on the iPhone's GPS, enabling the app to gather data that will improve its accuracy in future, even when separated from the phone.
