Abstract

Exercise-based watch faces and complications for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The methods described herein for exercise-based watch faces and complications provide indications of time and affordances representing applications (e.g., a workout application or a weather application). In response to detecting a user input corresponding to a selection of the affordance (e.g., representing a workout application), a workout routine can optionally be begun. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein, as well as electronic devices related thereto.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions further cause the first device to:

in response to detecting the user input;

display on the display a value corresponding to the one or more workout parameters.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions further cause the first device to:

after displaying the value corresponding to the first workout parameter;

update the displayed value to reflect user progress with respect to the one or more workout parameters.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the workout routine corresponds to a latest workout routine that is not currently begun.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the workout routine corresponds to a next workout routine according to a list of workout routines.
