WHERE TO FIND IT

Supported motion counting

Watch can detect motion for supported rep-and-weight exercise families: bench or chest presses, arm curls, triceps movements, shoulder presses, and shoulder raises. Support depends on the exercise name and available motion data. It does not cover every exercise; timed exercises use their own controls. Leg curls are not treated as arm curls.

  • Detection runs for the current unfinished rep-and-weight set.
  • Detected repetitions update the displayed value.
  • Wrist position, pauses, movement, and calibration can affect counts.
  • Review and correct the final count before completing the set.

Correct a count

Select reps and adjust with the Digital Crown. Check the starting value for a new set, especially if a planned or earlier count is already displayed. Detection adds movement to the displayed count; it remains an editable workout entry. Completing the set stops detection for that set.

Refresh a stale workout

Cached data can remain visible while iPhone is unavailable. Refresh queued or a request to finish syncing means the latest state is not confirmed. Restore the device connection and retry if refresh fails.

  1. Open InMotus on paired iPhone and confirm the correct active workout.
  2. Open Exercise Options on Watch and choose Sync from iPhone.
  3. Wait for the update or read the connection message.
  4. Compare exercise, set values, and completion state on both devices.
