How to customize workout views on Apple Watch

On Apple Watch, the workout views you see depend on the kind of workout you’re doing. Cardio-focused workouts have more workout views by default, but you can edit some of them to suit your workout style.

You can also reorder workout views. On Apple Watch Ultra models, you can even add a fifth metric to Metrics and Metrics 2, which show four by default.

Here’s how to customize workout views on Apple Watch.

  4. To select the metrics that appear in the first two workout views, tap the Edit button in the Metrics or Metrics 2 set and tap a metric. Then choose a different metric.

Quick tip: Metrics and Metrics 2 show four metrics by default on Apple Watch Ultra models, and you can add a fifth. Choose a workout, tap Preferences, and then tap [workout] Workout Views. Next, tap the Edit button in the Metrics or Metrics 2 tile and tap the empty field at the bottom of the list, and then choose another metric.
