Can you switch back and forth between tracking steps and pushes?
As an ambulatory wheelchair user, can you switch wheelchair mode on and off in activity, or will that mess up general tracking and trends?
Yes — you can switch back and forth between:
- Step mode (Ambulatory mode)
- Wheelchair mode (Pushes)
…but you must do it correctly, because the Apple Watch will only track one mobility mode at a time.
Switching does not break your historical data, but it does affect:
- Move ring
- Exercise ring
- Trends (Walk/Run Distance, Stand, Walking Speed, Cardio Fitness)
- Activity calibrations
