Can’t wait for mine coming on Friday! I would love to see a video on tips on using this during travels as many of us are getting out there more and more

[@JeffLeeming]

Will be so cool if “Time to Run” on Apple Fitness+ also evolves to automatically display relevant data, transitions, etc as you work through an instructor led session.

[@tarantinodavide90]

I got an Apple Watch 8 with Watch os9. I’m interested in the feature that makes you compete with yourself on the same route as you mentioned at 8:45 but I cannot understand how to activate it

[@jeremyjj6681]

Question with The custom workout on open mode on track . On Open mode we have to press the screen or we can press a button physic on side ? It is exclusively reserve on watch ultra with action orange button ?

[@OhYesJose]

Where do I see the segment view? I don’t have that option

[@saschabondarenko3455]

Can you lap a run mid workout without creating a custom workout? For example, if I wanted to run 4x5min tempo efforts with a 90sec rest between intervals. If so, how do you lap? Is it using the button? (I am a Garmin user looking to convert).

[@eugene4312]

Can I use Nike Run Club app and the Workout app at the same time?

[@sandorkocso1798]

why isn't he credited/mentioned in the description? :/

[@Baudri]

But can I add cadance or speed sensors?

[@MattHaide]

Sooo stoked for these updates! Thanks for covering this more in depth. I was wondering if you'd be able to customize each piece of data on the workout screen. That's awesome! After switching to an Apple Watch recently I was missing some of the stats I got on my old Garmin, but it looks like most, if not all (and more) are here now!

[@9thousandwatts]

Same here. Can’t wait for the update

[@Justin_tech]

So excited!

[@hankmancil178]

And the choice of cellular.

[@NewWorldDAO]

Can you change the settings on your iPhone so it’s a lot easier?

[@MattHaide]

@@NewWorldDAO I was looking through the apple watch app and haven't found a way to do that yet... Maybe someone else knows, but I don't see anything in the app for it unfortunately.

[@chinmoys2015]

Love CNET ❤️

[@stanedithisla]

why it dosent show the route? despite i have set the location service

[@mikehughes5800]

You saved me a lot time poking around. Thanks!

[@22runner]

Great video. Can’t wait to update my watch. Also this guy is gorgeous.

[@HabitualFixation]

Garmin would be interesting for me to jump to. Great updates though

[@RamonBalthazar]

Can you create the custom workouts on your iPhone and then use them in the watch? Also, thank you so much for the in-depth video! I love it 👏👏

[@andrews1927]

I was also wondering this, I love the workout tracking stuff on Apple Watch and like the look of more customisation but it’s going to be so annoying to do this on the tiny watch screen. @cnet ?

[@Motawa88]

no

[@Justin_tech]

I don't believe so, but I really like that idea. I'd prefer the larger screen for setup.

[@CesarMartinez-er3vo]

i wonder if this will show current pace, it will be really useful. Sometimes i don't care about my average mile pace, because im doing speed runs and i need to know my current pace at that moment.

[@giacomomeschini5128]

You can easily change the average with the current pace, I did it for the same reason

[@eugenefedorov3498]

If there any way how i can set some limit of hurt rate when apple watch start alarm me that i need to chill down?

[@YouAndImpact]

Great video 👍

[@chumpX2929]

These videos are really good I like Apple Watch stuff keep doing more !!

[@Justin_tech]

Will do! Have you seen my other recent watch videos? Check 'em out!

[@chumpX2929]

@@Justin_tech yea pretty cool

[@puneethsatwikvemula5973]

Very informative 👏🏻

[@Justin_tech]

Happy to hear!

[@jaywhite1141]

I’m really looking forward to upgrading to watchOS 9 next month ⌚️😆

[@Justin_tech]

Going to be awesome!

[@donbethel7675]

How do you delete old race routes?

[@BEASTxMODE]

So you can’t customize a workout on your iPhone? 6:50

[@rowes-enterprises9593]

I have few questions please, how easy is it to pause workout, not when you're just toodling around a park but actually running. Also, do you know how I would mark a lap please if I was doing 30 second intervals for example

[@rowes-enterprises9593]

Oh and you mentioned splits, can you set what the splits are at please? 1 mile for example

[@amjid300]

You can press the crown and side button at the same time which will pause the workout - very easy to do

[@amjid300]

@@rowes-enterprises9593 yes it’s very customisable. Can set to whatever you’d like (or even remove) in 0.01 mile increments. It’s very detailed compared to what came before 👍🏽

[@azferahseng3411]

Hi, what CGM device you use? I am TII and want to know what device can install on the watch

[@Justin_tech]

I use the Dexcom G6.

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

That boy be packing 🥴

[@raymondfrenette229]

do you know if there is a similar setting for the Walking workout?

[@amjid300]

Yep you get all the same options.

[@BM24DK]

is it just me or did the font size during workout decrease in WatchOS 9?

[@stuart2151]

It’s tiny! How can you read properly at glance?! It’s crazy and you can’t increase the font size

[@ricardoibarra6455]

Great video ❤

[@mollyricee]

love!

[@johnnychin4777]

I do prefer a coachijg feature where it actually tell you where to improve while you run, throw all the data for people new to tjese data is overwhelming

[@warrensalsa8407]

Why can one not capture manual splits on the iwatch!!? Let's say you go to a track and want to capture a 400m run, then you jog 800m to cool down and run a hard 1km, this cannot be captured?

[@jackf1841]

Handsome guy! 😍

[@ecryptix1010]

Such a talented hot guy, his composting review was so fun too.

[@broadcastmyself77]

The lady in the back at the beginning of the video 😂

[@Motawa88]

would have been nice if you explained the "power" metric more. I still don't get it

[@cschoolf]

It’s the literal energy you are putting out. Like 65watts or something along those lines

[@reese373]

Just so I am clear, your resting HR is calculated monthly by a test you take early in the morning or something like that where you are at rest? Never had a iwatch. I’ve always used Polar HR monitors but may get one of these. Also can we use a HR chest strap?

[@javier452]

Your resting hr is calculated through out the day when you where the watch. Then I’m guessing at the beginning of the month it get the average for the last month

[@lavardismiller9357]

It's crazy man. I used to watch my guy for all of my smart lightning in the home. 👌🏽

[@Justin_tech]

:)

[@kameko.studio]

I thought you were mark rober in the beginning

[@lgmarquez5469]

Hopefully they increase the battery life with the new update.

[@Justin_tech]

Hoping for this too - the rumored Pro watch may have better battery life as well.

[@ermano]

He. Came a long way from Phillips hue tech talks

[@Justin_tech]

hehehe

[@phuongquangho3273]

I hope a Apple Watch with long battery

[@jonathansallows836]

This is great for people obsessed with health metrics, but I think the whole "at a glance" feature after or during a run is more my style. Even if it just said, "You're doing better - here are a few numbers." I'd rather have that.

[@TVjohnny00]

My type 1 brother

[@Justin_tech]

yasssss

[@just_a_man2024]

This is not apple watch this is meter to measure everything .
