As a casual runner and someone who likes to say they'll attend a SoulCycle class rather than actually participate in one, I enjoyed the cute little reminders from the watch and pace tracking.
However, POPSUGAR Fitness editor Dominique Astorino had some gripes with it that more intense runners and fit people may not like. "For running, the Apple Watch is incredible, and I do prefer it over the Fitbit," she said. "But for other types of exercise, however, Fitbit has better data on your heart rate during your workouts — it's laid out better in the Fitbit app. The Apple Watch also can't autosense a workout, so you have to remember to 'start' a workout on an app; the technology isn't that intuitive yet. I actually ended up missing out on some data for a seriously tough SoulCycle class before I figured that out."
