Maybe this is more of generic "how does the Watch work with maintaining which app has the focus during a Workout" question than specifically related to WoD...but...
I use the native Workout app to track my activities (with Watchletic used to drag structured workouts from my intervals.icu calendar automatically into the native app - with about 75% of my runs structured in some way its just an easy habit to use it for ALL runs)...and I use WoD mainly in Map Only mode (I occasionally use it 'properly').
This works really well as can just double-tap the digital crown to switch between the two apps. But what I find, when its a run where I mainly want to concentrate on the map, at first, every time I raise my wrist (I don't use AOD), the native Workout app appears, and I have to double tap to WOD to see the map...then after I've done this toggle a few times, things seem to change and when I raise my wrist, the map appears, as I'd prefer.
If I then have a spell where I want to concentrate on the metrics, it seems to take me a little while to make the native app retain the focus after a wrist raise again.
Do we know what the specific "rules" are that determine which app gets the focus when the wrist is raised whilst in a Workout and with a Map open on WOD? I feel like there's a simpler way to lock on each app that what I currently do, which is get frustrated for a bit and then suddenly its "ok" ?!
