If you have an Apple Watch, and you first start a workout, then use Siri to start a timer. Well, what if that timer could start automatically for you! Guess what? It can by using automations, and here are the easy steps to set it up.

2, At the top, choose, create automation.
3, On the next screen, choose create personal automation.
4, Go down and choose, Apple Watch Workout.
5, OK, here is where you put in the details about the workout.
6, there are 2 settings, which workout, and if you want it to happen when you start or end the workout. The default type of workout is, any workout, just double tap that to choose a specific workout from the list. By default, start is selected. If you want it to happen when the workout ends, then choose that one.
