There seems to be no other smart wearable that does such. After each set of exercises, the watch will log what the user has done like 10 bicep curls, or 12 deadlifts, or 15 lunges, and so on.
It is not right all the time. It was better at recognizing arm movements like overhead presses than it was at reading lower-body exercises like leg extensions and leg lifts, and at one point it even misclassified simple bicep curls as Russian twists.
And, the user still has to swipe and tap on the watch face to manually log how much weight he is lifting.
But it’s still a cool feature, one which will only get better over time. The best part is that it’s not relegated to just the LG Watch Sport as Google says that, provided other smartwatches have the right combination of sensors, other Android Wear 2.0 watches will have it too.
All of the activity data is shared to Google’s Fit app, which runs on Android phones and on the web.
Again, iPhone users are out of luck, and the user’s feelings about Google Fit might largely depend on how he feels about backing up all of his health and fitness data to Google’s cloud.
But it’s an intuitive, colorful app that offers more manual entry options than Apple’s Activity and Health apps.
