Apple Watch and indoor workouts

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hello everyone,
I am an experienced iOS user, but till now I have never thought about buying an Apple Watch. As I am doing indoor sports regularly, I wanted to know if anybody uses the Watch for activities such as spimming, or cross walker?! Are there some accessible workouts/apps from Apple to track your activity?
My problem is often that I am not able to read the display on the devices I use. So I am looking for a gadget to tell me speed, distance, time and other information.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Ben

Hi.
A quick Google search gave me the following great information:

No, the Apple watch doesn't read the display output from the various fitness machines, unless there is an accessible app to do so. I don't do fitness myself, so I don't know how important that is, compared to the generel information which you can read more about on the two pages I've linked to above. I hope this information was helpful at some point. Hopefully someone can come up with more helpful information.
