Automatic workout tracking is one of those Apple Watch features I’ve relied on for several years. When I forget to launch a workout (which happens more often than not), my smartwatch buzzes me a few minutes into exercising, prompting me to start tracking and supplying me with retroactive activity data.
For walks and runs, tapping my Apple Watch display to accept the automatic workout tracking notification is simple enough. But there are certain exercises where it’s not easy — and perhaps even dangerous — to reach the fingers from my non-watch hand to my watch screen. Take rowing, for example.
