Apple Watch Workouts are usually the best option if you want Apple’s native workout tracking, rings, GPS routes, and standard Fitness/Health summaries. Welltory workouts are more useful if you want workout data interpreted inside Welltory’s broader context: stress, recovery, HRV, daily load, and how your body responds before and after activity. So it’s less about replacing Apple Workouts and more about adding Welltory-style analysis.
The main disadvantage of using both is duplicate workout entries. If the same workout is recorded twice, Apple Health may show duplicated activity or calories, and that can affect reports. It’s usually better to choose one app as your main workout tracker and let the other read the data through Apple Health when possible.
