The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is capable of tracking multiple sports simultaneously, allowing users to combine different activities into a single workout session. This feature is particularly useful for athletes who engage in multi-sport activities, such as triathlons or varied training sessions.
How to Track Multiple Sports
To track multiple activities in one workout, users can follow these steps:
1. Open the Workout App: Start by selecting the first workout type, such as running.
2. Add Additional Activities: When ready to switch to a different activity (e.g., cycling), swipe right and tap the "Add" button to choose the new workout type.
3. End the Workout: After completing all activities, swipe right and tap "End" to finish the session.
4. Review Results: The watch will provide a summary of the workout, but each activity will be recorded separately in the fitness app, allowing for detailed analysis of each segment[1][3].
Features and Limitations
- Customizable Workouts: Users can customize each sport's settings, including goals and metrics displayed during the workout. This customization enhances the tracking experience for different types of exercises[1][2].
- Data Integration: The Apple Watch Ultra 2 integrates with various fitness apps, allowing users to sync data and view comprehensive workout history on their iPhone[2][4].
- Multiple App Usage: While you cannot run two workout apps simultaneously on the watch itself, you can use one app on the watch and another on your phone, which can provide additional flexibility for tracking different workouts[5].
Overall, the Apple Watch Ultra 2's ability to track multiple sports in a single session, alongside its robust customization options, makes it a versatile tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
