Not so "smart" smart watches
Since Monday I've been doing elliptical trainer workouts, we bought one ages ago. And I use my Apple Watch 6 to log them. I only do elliptical workouts, typically five a day for about 5-7 minutes for a total of half an hour a day. And I've noticed improvement in this short period of time.
I thought I'd try something different before starting a workout. I triggered Siri and instead of saying 'Start elliptical workout', I said 'Guess which elliptical workout I want to start'.
Now, it should be obvious. Through geolocation, the phone and watch know I'm at home. Through history, they know the only exercising that I do is elliptical and stairs at work.
Should be an easy answer, right?
Nope.
Instead, Siri says "What workout do you wish to begin?"
Doesn't even posit a question!
So much for "smart" watches!
