I had an Apple Watch 3 and had the automatic workout detection enabled and when I failed to start the Outdoor Walk, it never picked it up. Interestingly, my wife's AW3 and AW4 would constantly remind her to enable the Workout on the same walk. I figured it was something odd with my AW3, but I just upgraded to a AW5 over the last week and it's the same situation. The AW5 doesn't pick up fact that I'm on the walk either.
There's obviously not a lot of information on WHAT triggers the workout detection, so it's hard to know what I'm not doing. Is it the heartrate that needs to be higher or bigger arm movements?
I, at least, like the Infographic watch face which allows me to put the workout complication on the main screen to enable things faster than I was before, but it would be nice to know why this feature doesn't work for me and does for my wife.
