Apple Watch

How does rep counting on Apple Watch work?

Auto Reps counts your reps from the motion of your wrist as you lift, on supported exercises such as presses, curls, squats, raises and rows. It works from the first set you log, with no phone in reach. It is part of Splyt Pro.

  1. Start a strength workout on the watch, or on your iPhone so it opens on the watch.
  2. Swipe to the Controls page and turn on Auto Reps.
  3. Lift. The count appears on the watch as you go.

There is nothing to calibrate or teach it first. Movements it does not support are logged the usual way, by tapping or by voice.

Without Pro, the watch explains that Auto Reps needs Splyt Pro and you can upgrade from your iPhone; every other part of logging on the watch keeps working. Because the counting happens on the watch, it carries on with your phone left in a locker or out of signal.
