How do i change my weight on apple watch

Over time, our lifestyles change, such as diets and exercises, and we lose or gain weight. When this weight change happens, it becomes essential to change the data on our Apple watch to the current one. Failure to do this will result in inaccurate measurements during workouts. 

To change your weight on the Apple watch, you have to do it via the Health app of your iPhone. Your Apple Watch Activity app wouldn’t be able to change it.

How To Change Weight on Apple Watch Activity App

Only your iPhone Health app can help you adjust your weight on your Apple watch.

Your iPhone Health app helps to synchronize data to your Apple watch. On the other hand, the Activity app of your Apple Watch utilizes this stored data to make measurements. 

Nevertheless, there are still many functions your Activity app can perform, and all have been given in this article.

The following information below shows you how to change your weight on your Apple Watch:

1. On your iPhone, go to your “Watch” app.
2. Click on “My Watch” > “Health” > and then to “Health details”.

4. Click on “Weight” and adjust it.

How To Change the Measurement Unit of Your Apple Watch from Kilogram to Pounds

You can change the measuring unit of your Apple Watch from kilograms to pounds or vice versa. You can change it by going to the “Unit” tab in your iPhone’s “Health” app. And just like changing the actual weight numerical value, changing the unit can only be done using your iPhone.

To change the weight from pounds to kilograms or vice verse of your Apple Watch, you should

1. Go to the “Health” app on your iPhone.

However, adjusting other measurement units, such as changing meters to yards, miles to kilometers, or calories to kilojoules, can be done by your Apple Watch or iPhone.

Other Functions Adjustments on Apple Watch

Your iPhone is limited in adjusting some settings on your Apple Watch. Hence, you will still need your Apple Watch to control some of your Workout settings.

Here are several settings that you can alter solely using your Apple Watch.

Option #1: Change Other Measurement Units of Your Apple Watch aside from Weight

Besides changing your iPhone’s weight units/numerical value, you can change other physical dimensions using your Apple Watch. For instance, you can change units of energy (calories/kilojoules) or length (yards/meters/miles/kilometers).

To do this, you should:

1. Go to the “Settings” app on your Apple Watch.
2. Click on “Workouts” and then “Units of Measure”.

A simple way to pause your workout is to:

1. Go to the “Settings” app on your Apple Watch.
2. Go to “Workouts” and then switch on “Auto Pause”.
