Get the WorkOutDoors app for recording any activities on apple watch. The built in apple fitness app is borderline useless.
I think you have to pay a circa £5 one off app purchase fee but i have been using it for a year now on apple watch ultra for all activities and it has worked flawlessly. The mapping on it is also really good of you get bit lost and are not using a garmin etc. It also seems to be much more accurate with all metrics compared to apple fitness app, and the auto start/stop function actually works.
It sends all data to apple health in the same way the apple fitness app does.
Ypu can also upload routs from komoot/mapmyride/strava etc to it and use it for navigation if needed. I use the navigation on it unknown hiking routes with the dogs pretty regularly.
Also, you can’t really expect any app to automatically know that you have stopped riding and are sitting on a gondola. I’m not sure how you imagine a watch would be able to figure that out unless it has very detailed maps installed that recognise sections that are gondolas. If you are riding your bike and get off to push it up a steep hill, an app won’t automatically assume you’re walking and not riding, you are still moving, so the activity is not paused.
This seems like a very Dammit kind of assumption.

Apple Watch Health App- used it today to record bike park laps, it very usefully recorded the first one, then stopped recording anything when I took the second gondola up to the park again. It didn’t stop the activity- so that ran for the 3 or so hours I was riding, and when I stopped the activity it uploaded the single run.
How can I fix this behaviour as it makes the watch useless for recording bike park riding?
