I can understand why Apple may be reluctant to introduce snow shoveling as a workout; getting a dozen software engineers from California to get cups of hot coco to trial it would be a tough sell.

Whereas thousands of people suffer from cardiac episodes directly associated from shoveling snow each year, I would love to see Apple add it in as a safety monitor similar to car crash detection if nothing else.

Does anyone know of third party watch apps which can track snow shoveling in the meantime?

    I never start a workout but it always gives me almost every minute as green ring.

    I think if Apple could offer heart attack as a warning to the watch, they would have done so long ago. I know that they warn you that Apple Watch cannot detect heart attack on two different screens when you start an ECG on a supported watch. Clearly Apple hasn’t been able to reliably detect heart attacks as an event with the watch.
