Set your Activity Type, duration, distance and start time (the burnt calories are calculated automatically) then tap "Next"
Once you have pressed “Stop” on your watch, there’s just a few final steps to follow to complete your activity.
You will be asked for your “Feeling” and “Surface”, which you can select by turning the Digital Crown on the side of the watch. Tap “Save” to complete your activity.
You’ll be asked first to input your “Distance”. Tap each value and use the Digital Crown on the side of the watch to enter the kilometers you covered. Press “Continue” and then follow the same procedure to input your “Calories”. Tap “Save” to complete your activity.
Select your “Calories” burned using the Digital Crown to input the correct value and then press “Save” to complete your activity.
If you stop the activity on your iPhone, the above steps must then be carried out on the phone instead of the watch. Your Activity Summary will always be displayed on the phone after your activity.
Note: A summary of the steps you took during your activity will only be displayed in the Activity Summary if you use the “Watch only” mode.
Due to technical reasons a connection between your Apple Watch and the Runtastic app is not possible with older iOS or watchOS versions.
The following values will be displayed on your Apple Watch during a GPS-tracked outdoor activity: Distance, Duration, Pace and Heart Rate. During an indoor activity, Heart Rate and Duration will be displayed. The values displayed cannot be customized.

The Apple Watch OS allows you to access the integrated heart rate monitor. This means you are able to monitor and record your heart rate during a Runtastic activity using your Apple Watch.
You can view your heart rate either from the watch or the app on your phone.
If you are wearing a heart rate monitor strap, your heart rate will be measured using this device and not the Apple Watch.
During an activity, there is an easy way to pause your session. Swipe right on the screen of your Apple Watch, then select “Pause” to pause your session. Use the same procedure to end or resume your activity.
In order to start an activity on your Apple Watch, open the Runtastic app on either your watch or your iPhone and press “Start”.
In wet weather, you can swipe right and toggle on the Water Lock feature. However, please note that this feature is only available to users with WatchOS 4.
Once you’ve pressed “Stop”, you will be asked to select your “Feeling” and “Surface”, which you can select by turning the crown on the side of the watch. Only once you have pressed “Save” will your activity be uploaded to your Runtastic account. You can then view the activity in your Runtastic app, too!
You’ll be asked first to input the “Distance” you covered during your run. Use the Digital Crown to select the correct value. Press “Continue” and then follow the same procedure to input your “Calories”. Tap “Save” to complete your activity.
The Runtastic activities you’ve tracked also count towards the “Exercise rings” which are new for watchOS 4. Do you want to share your activity details with a friend? Simply flip the watch face forward - the display and the values shown will turn automatically. You’ll also see your activities in Apple Health.
During Cycling (Ergometer) activities, only duration and heart rate will be displayed.
If you swipe to the right you can either tap and pause or stop the activity or activate the water lock.
Log in to the Runtastic app, enable Apple Health permissions and ensure that all Apple Health “Categories” are turned on. Once these short steps have been completed, you’re ready to hit the road!
Then, just open the Runtastic app on your Apple Watch and press “Start”. Your activity type is already predefined as running, but you can always change it to another available activity type by tapping on "Running" and scrolling down.
Thanks to the Water Lock feature, you can start tracking in any weather conditions. The watch face will be locked and raindrops won’t change your settings or accidentally stop your activity.
